Końskie, County capital in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland

Located in south-central Poland, Końskie extends across varied terrain with numerous parks, green spaces, and a Gothic church at its center point.

The settlement dates to 1124 when Prandota of Prandocin owned it, later receiving city rights from King Augustus III of Poland in 1748.

The Saint Nicholas Church combines Gothic architecture with preserved Romanesque elements, representing centuries of architectural development in the region.

The town functions as an administrative center for eight surrounding municipalities, providing essential services to over 77,000 residents in the county.

During the 18th century, the name Końskie reflected the town's primary economic activity of horse breeding and trading.
