Kraśnik County

Kraśnik County is an administrative county in Lublin Voivodeship in eastern Poland made up of ten municipalities. The territory includes urban centers like Kraśnik and Annopol alongside many smaller towns and villages spread across the area.

The county was created in 1999 during Poland's administrative reforms and replaced the earlier structure of Urzędów County. This reorganization was part of a nationwide restructuring of Poland's administrative boundaries.

The region shows its history through architecture that blends Polish and Jewish building styles found across its towns. These structures reflect centuries of shared life between different communities that made this area home.

The county is well connected by roads linking all ten municipalities and providing direct access to Lublin. Getting around between the different areas is straightforward thanks to the established road network connecting all towns and villages.

The area shows a strong contrast between rural and urban living, with most residents living in villages and smaller towns rather than city centers. This pattern reflects how settlement is scattered across the region rather than concentrated in a few large places.
