Brzesko County

Brzesko County is an administrative district in Lesser Poland Voivodeship comprising seven municipalities spread across rural and urban settlements. The territory includes towns like Brzesko, Czchów, Gnojnik, and Dębno, each serving distinct community functions within the wider region.

This county was created through Poland's administrative reorganization of 1998 and began operating in its current form on January 1, 1999. The reform consolidated seven municipalities under a single administrative framework for the region.

The region preserves traditional Polish administrative divisions where urban and rural life coexist. People gather in markets, local shops, and public squares as part of daily routines.

The administrative center is located in Brzesko with Czchów serving as a secondary hub for local services. Both towns function as reference points for accessing the region's resources and facilities.

The territory includes several World War I military cemeteries established by Austro-Hungarian authorities between 1914 and 1915. These burial grounds represent quiet reminders of the conflicts that shaped the landscape.
