Stopnica, Historical village in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland.

Stopnica stands on the Stopniczanka river, serving as the administrative center of Gmina Stopnica within the Busko County of south-central Poland.

The settlement received civic rights in 1362 from King Casimir III the Great, leading to the construction of a castle and Gothic church.

The town developed as a significant center for Calvinism during the Protestant Reformation period, with nobleman Marcin Zborowski establishing a church in 1551.

Located 17 kilometers east of Busko-Zdrój, Stopnica functions as a road hub where National Road 73 intersects with local roads 756 and 757.

The name Stopnica originates from the early Slavic word 'stob', reflecting its initial settlement near wetlands and waterways in a marsh-surrounded valley.
