Gmina Opatówek

Gmina Opatowek is an urban-rural administrative region in central Poland comprising the town of Opatowek and 26 surrounding villages. The municipality spans a large area with mixed urban and rural landscapes throughout.

The territory belonged to the Archbishops of Gniezno from the 13th century and received municipal rights before 1331. This heritage established it as a regional administrative center.

The Industrial Museum displays the region's manufacturing heritage and preserves a notable collection of Polish pianos. Visitors can see how local production shaped the area's character.

The municipality connects well to Kalisz through rail links, making it easy to reach from the county capital. Visitors will find businesses, shops, and services spread throughout the territory.

The region protects two river valleys where more than 700 plant species and water birds find habitat. These protected areas make it an important refuge for local wildlife.
