Prószków, Municipality in Upper Silesia, Poland.

Located 10 kilometers south of Opole, Prószków extends across the Silesian Lowlands with the Prószkowski Potok stream flowing through its territories.

The settlement, first documented in 1250, received its city rights in 1560 and underwent multiple transformations under Bohemian, Prussian, German, and Polish administration.

The Renaissance castle, built in 1563 by the Counts of Proskau, later housed a renowned faience factory established by Count Leopold Prószkowski in 1763.

The town connects to major transportation routes through the A4 motorway and Voivodeship roads 414 and 429, facilitating access to surrounding regions.

On July 29, 1921, Prószków recorded Poland's highest temperature at 40.2°C, establishing a national record that remains unbroken.
