Gostyń County

Gostyń County is an administrative district in west-central Poland containing several towns and smaller communities. The territory includes both urban centers and rural areas spread across the region.

The county took shape during Poland's major administrative reorganization in 1998 and officially began operating with its current boundaries in 1999. This reform redefined how the region was divided and governed.

Gostyń town holds museums that display objects and stories important to local residents, connecting visitors to the everyday lives and traditions of the region. These collections reflect how people here have lived and worked over time.

Gostyń town sits roughly 60 kilometers south of Poznań and connects to surrounding areas through regional roads. Getting around the area is straightforward for visitors exploring multiple locations within the county.

The region houses the Basilica of Święta Góra, a major religious structure designed by architect Pompeo Ferrari. This sacred building attracts visitors from across the area and serves as a notable landmark in the landscape.
