Fałków, Village in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland

Fałków sits in the northwestern corner of Lesser Poland, positioned 24 kilometers west of Końskie and 46 kilometers northwest of Kielce.

The settlement received town privileges under Magdeburg rights in 1340 from King Kazimierz Wielki but lost its town status in 1869 after the January Uprising.

The village maintains traditional rural Polish customs through local celebrations, agricultural practices, and community gatherings that connect residents with their heritage.

The administrative center of Gmina Fałków serves approximately 1,100 residents and manages local governance for the surrounding agricultural region.

The remains of a 17th-century defensive manor house stand within the village, marking the period before its destruction during the Swedish invasion of Poland.
