Krzeszowice, Municipality in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.

Krzeszowice lies 25 kilometers west of Krakow, connecting two major metropolitan regions: the Upper Silesian Industrial Area and the historical capital of Poland.

The settlement received its first written mention in 1286 when the Bishop of Krakow granted permission to Fryczek Freton to establish a village in this location.

The city features the Potocki Palace constructed between 1850 and 1870, representing Italian Renaissance architecture with an accompanying English garden design.

The railway station provides direct connections to Krakow and Katowice, while National Road 79 links the municipality to Warsaw and Bytom for efficient transportation.

The municipality contains the village of Debnik, which supplied black marble for construction projects throughout Poland since medieval times.
