Rakoniewice, Municipal center in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland.

Rakoniewice extends across 3.4 square kilometers in Grodzisk Wielkopolski County, surrounded by pine forests and agricultural lands in west-central Poland.

The settlement received town privileges in 1662 through Krzysztof Grzymułtowski's efforts, following its initial establishment as a noble village in 1252.

The Greater Poland Fire Service Museum, located in an 18th-century timbered church building, maintains a collection of 3,700 firefighting artifacts.

National Road 32 and Railway Line 357 connect Rakoniewice with neighboring cities, providing transportation options for its 3,332 residents.

Between 1842 and 1849, the city developed through an unusual trade of selling leeches imported from southern Russia to France and England.
