Górki Wielkie, Rural settlement in Cieszyn County, Poland
Górki Wielkie is a village in Cieszyn County situated in a mountainous region near the Czech border. The settlement sits among river valleys and forested slopes that form part of the Beskid range.
The village first appeared in written records around 1305 and later became part of Bohemian territory. This connection shaped the area's character for centuries to come.
The village has a strong Catholic identity that shapes how people gather and celebrate together throughout the year. You will notice religious symbols in homes and public spaces that reflect this long-standing spiritual connection.
The village sits within reach of the larger city of Bielsko-Biała, making it easy to access services and supplies. The hilly location means that getting around involves traveling on roads that wind through sloped terrain.
A notable Polish writer chose this village as a home starting in 1924 and remained here until her death. Her memory is preserved in a museum on the grounds that draws visitors interested in literary history.
