Słopnice, Rural village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

Słopnice extends across green hillsides 50 kilometers southeast of Kraków, with a river running through its center and agricultural fields surrounding the settlement.

The village roots trace to the 14th century when settlers arrived during the reigns of Polish kings Ladislaus I and Casimir III the Great.

The Catholic parish church, constructed in 1776, stands as the central religious landmark and gathering point for local community celebrations and traditions.

European Union funds since 2004 have enabled the development of modern roads, hiking trails, and community facilities throughout the village.

Elias Sanders, father of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, lived in House 215 near the river before emigrating to America in 1921.
