Gmina Pawłowice, Rural municipality in Pszczyna County, Poland.
Gmina Pawlowice is a rural municipality in Pszczyna County in southern Poland, made up of seven villages with Pawlowice serving as the administrative center. The communities of Golasowice, Jarząbkowice, and Krzyżowice form part of this territorial entity that spreads across about 75 square kilometers.
Pawlowice first appeared in written records in 1281, and in 1517 the Thurzó family took control of the land through an agreement with the Duke of Cieszyn. This change marked an important shift in how the area developed and was governed over the following centuries.
The municipality maintains active partnerships with communities in Hungary, Slovakia, and France, which bring regular exchanges and meetings among residents. These connections shape how people here relate to visitors and neighbors from across Europe.
The municipal office is located in Pawlowice village and serves as the main point of contact for residents and visitors seeking information about the area. You can find answers to most questions about services and activities available across the seven villages here.
The area experienced a turning point in 1921 when roughly 74 percent of residents voted to join Poland in a regional plebiscite. This vote was decisive in determining the territory's final status as part of the Polish state after European borders were redrawn.
