Górki Wielkie, Rural settlement in Cieszyn County, Poland
Górki Wielkie extends across 14.67 square kilometers of land within the valleys of Brennica and Leśnica rivers, surrounded by the Beskid Śląski mountains.
The village appeared in Latin records around 1305 as Gorki villa vlodari and later became part of the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1327 under Habsburg rule.
The population maintains traditional practices through the use of the Cieszyn Silesian dialect, with Roman Catholic traditions shaping local community gatherings.
Located near the Czech Republic border and 4,180 residents as of 2022, the village provides direct connections to the urban center of Bielsko-Biała.
Polish writer Zofia Kossak-Szczucka selected this village as her residence from 1924 until her death, leading to the establishment of a museum.
