Bodzentyn, Medieval municipality in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland
The town extends across an area at 287 meters elevation in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, near the headquarters of Świętokrzyski National Park.
Bishop Jan Bodzanta established the town in 1355, constructing defensive walls and a castle in 1365 to protect this northern Lesser Poland settlement.
The Gothic Holy Cross Church, founded in 1380, remains a central architectural element that shaped the religious and social development of Bodzentyn.
