Żernica, Rural village in Gmina Pilchowice, Poland
Located in southern Poland's Silesian Voivodeship, Żernica extends across rolling landscapes 8 kilometers southwest of Gliwice and 29 kilometers west of Katowice.
First documented in 1246, Żernica functioned as a knightly village until 1278, when it became property of the Cistercian monastery in Rudy.
The wooden Church of Saint Michael the Archangel, constructed between 1648 and 1661, contains baroque furnishings and decorative crosses from 1860.
The village administration office, led by head Sandra Bismor, operates at Ogrodowa Street 10, providing local government services to 2,549 residents.
A medieval settlement with a 40-meter diameter remains in Żernica, featuring a central church elevated seven meters above the surrounding terrain.
