Gmina Nowiny, Administrative district in Kielce County, Poland.
Gmina Nowiny is a rural municipality in Kielce County, in south-central Poland. It is made up of several villages, including Bolechowice, Kowala, and Sitkówka, set across open countryside.
The municipality was founded in 1973 under the name Gmina Sitkówka-Nowiny and was renamed Gmina Nowiny in 2020. That change came as part of a broader reorganization of administrative boundaries in the area.
The locality organizes annual Christmas card competitions that bring residents together through artistic creation and seasonal celebrations. These gatherings reflect how the community values creative expression as part of its identity.
The municipal office in Nowiny is the main point of contact for information on local services and resources. Those visiting the surrounding villages will find it easiest to get around by car, as public connections are limited.
Part of the municipal territory falls within the Chęciny-Kielce Landscape Park, meaning protected natural land sits alongside ordinary village land. Residents of the surrounding villages can walk into that protected area without traveling far from home.
