Raków, Rural village in Gmina Raków, Poland
The village extends across agricultural landscapes near the Chańcza Lake, surrounded by the Ociesęckie and Orłowińskie mountain ranges in south-central Poland.
Founded in 1569 by Jan Sienieński, Raków became a center for Polish Brethren and housed the Racovian Academy from 1602 to 1638.
The village coat of arms displays a crayfish, derived from the Warnia heraldic symbol of Jadwiga Gnoińska, wife of the village founder.
Located 39 kilometers southeast of Kielce, Raków functions as the administrative center of its commune with municipal offices on Jana Sienieńskiego Street.
The Prągowiec Gorge near Raków contains 400-million-year-old fossils, making this area valuable for paleontological research.
