Szczyrzyc, Medieval Cistercian village in Małopolska, Poland
The village stretches along the Stradomka River valley in the Beskid Wyspowy mountain range, surrounded by peaks reaching heights of 835 meters.
In 1234, Kraków Voivode Teodor Cedro established the Cistercian monastery, which developed into a major regional center extending from the Vistula River to the Tatra Mountains.
The Szczyrzycanie folk ensemble, founded in 1926, performs traditional dances and songs at regional festivals throughout the year.
The monastery museum displays ancient artifacts, including a rare 13th-century world map and religious objects from different historical periods.
The village maintains a population of Polish Red cattle, a traditional breed that continues to graze in the surrounding pastures.
