Przedbórz

Przedbórz is a town on the Pilica River with a medieval core and buildings spanning several centuries. The church of Saint Mary marks the town center, while rows of townhouses from the 18th and 19th centuries line the main streets.

The town was granted city status in 1370 by King Kazimierz the Great, who built a castle and visited regularly for hunting. Later, it held strategic importance as a border town between rival powers in the region.

The Church of Saint Mary dominates the town center with its Gothic architecture, while centuries-old townhouses show how merchants and craftspeople made their homes here. Walking through the narrow streets reveals how ordinary residents shaped this place over generations.

The town is connected by bus to larger cities in the region with a central transportation point. The flat terrain and riverside setting make it easy to explore on foot in a short visit.

Beneath the town's stone foundations lie traces of an earlier Slavic settlement discovered through archaeological work. Sharp-eyed visitors can sometimes spot remnants of this earlier occupation mixed into the building materials.
