Lanckorona, Historic village in Lesser Poland, Poland
Lanckorona sits at an elevation of 500 meters above sea level, surrounded by the Beskids hills and the Skawinka river flowing nearby.
King Casimir III the Great established Lanckorona in 1336 and built a protective castle to guard the important trade route leading to Kraków.
The central market square features preserved wooden houses from the 19th century, displaying traditional Polish rural architectural elements and construction methods.
The village connects to Kraków through regular bus services and a direct rail link, with the journey taking approximately 40 minutes by car.
The ruins of the medieval castle witnessed the Battle of the Bar Confederation in 1771, when Polish forces faced Russian troops under Alexander Suvorov.
