Gmina Gorzkowice

Gorzkowice is a rural municipality in Piotrków County that comprises several small settlements and villages. The landscape is shaped by farmland and forests, with the administrative center serving as the hub for local services and governance.

Gorzkowice first appeared in written records in 1335 as part of the Sieradz Voivodeship in the Kingdom of Poland. The area experienced a turbulent period during the 1940s when it became affected by wartime displacement.

The municipality organizes Independence Day celebrations where schools participate in commemorative activities that strengthen connections with Polish heritage.

The administrative center serves as the main point of contact for visitors seeking information about the municipality and its villages. The warmer months offer the most pleasant conditions for exploring the rural landscape and local communities.

In September 1944, Gorzkowice received over 13,000 deportees from the Dulag 121 camp, primarily consisting of elderly individuals and families.
