Gmina Kozy, Administrative division in Bielsko County, Poland.
Gmina Kozy is a rural municipality in Bielsko County that sits at the base of the surrounding hills and is home to around thirteen thousand residents. The area consists of a single village with landmarks including a 18th-century church and a small chapel nestled in the woods.
The area was first recorded in 1326 and initially consisted of two separate settlements that were located apart from each other. Over time these distinct areas merged into the single community that exists today.
The church and the palace stand as landmarks where local gatherings and celebrations take place throughout the year. These buildings shape how people experience their community and connect with others around them.
The area is accessible by local roads that connect the village and its main attractions, making it easy to explore on foot or by car. Spring through autumn offers the most comfortable conditions for visiting the outdoor sites and walking through the surrounding countryside.
The name comes from the Polish word for goats, reflecting the presence of these animals in the region during its earliest settlement days. This connection to the animal world hints at what shaped the local economy and daily life in earlier times.
