Pcim, Rural settlement in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland
Pcim is a rural village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship divided into three districts: Centrum, Krzywica, and Sucha, each with its own character and location. The terrain varies from open fields to forested areas, with small streams running through the landscape.
The village began in the 13th century when a local prince invited settlers to develop the area. A church was built in 1338 on the orders of the Polish king, marking an important moment in its establishment as a permanent settlement.
The village church serves as the focal point where locals gather for religious celebrations and community events throughout the year. This building shapes how people move through and understand the center of the settlement.
The village sits close to European route E77 and has regular bus connections to nearby towns and cities. Spring through early autumn offers the best conditions for walking and exploring the rural landscape on foot.
A major flood in 2010 caused significant damage to the village and surrounding areas, reshaping local infrastructure and community preparedness. The event left lasting marks on how residents approach water management and emergency planning.
