Gmina Czerwionka-Leszczyny

Gmina Czerwionka-Leszczyny is an urban-rural municipality in Rybnik County in southern Poland. The area includes the town of Czerwionka-Leszczyny and six surrounding villages with a combined population of around 42,000 residents.

The area had early human settlements and first appeared in written records around 1305. Mining later became the driving force that shaped the entire region and its development.

The place preserves its mining heritage through housing estates like Familoki, which show the industrial past of Silesia. These buildings still shape how the town looks and tell the story of the region's working history.

The administrative center serves the local population with a mix of urban and rural services. When visiting, plan time to explore both the town center and the surrounding villages at a relaxed pace.

The area contains sections of Rudy Landscape Park and has partnerships with cities across Eastern Europe, including Romania, Ukraine, and Latvia. These international connections demonstrate the place's role beyond its immediate surroundings.
