Piaski, Municipality in Lublin Voivodeship, Poland.

Piaski extends along the banks of the Giełczew river, featuring residential neighborhoods and commercial districts within Świdnik County, 16 kilometers southeast of Świdnik.

The settlement emerged from two neighboring villages in the 15th century, with the first written record of Piaski appearing in Latin chronicles from 1470.

The town contained three Protestant churches during the 16th century Reformation period, marking a substantial shift in the religious composition of the local population.

The municipality maintains sports facilities through Piaskovia Piaski club, which provides programs for football, volleyball, and table tennis activities.

Antoni Patek, the founder of luxury watchmaker Patek Philippe, originated from this Polish municipality before establishing his renowned Swiss timepiece company.
