Gmina Bolesław

Gmina Bolesław is a rural administrative district in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship of southern Poland, encompassing several villages across the territory. The area spans multiple settlements connected through rural terrain and local infrastructure.

The territory was founded in the 13th century and initially developed as a church jurisdiction before later becoming a noble estate. This transformation reflects the political and social changes in the region during the medieval period.

The district contains several religious centers, including a neogothic church from the late 1800s dedicated to St Michael and the Motherhood of Virgin Mary. These places shape the spiritual life in the villages and serve as gathering points for the community.

The administrative center is located west of Olkusz and connects to several important regional transportation routes. Visitors should expect the area to be primarily agricultural with rural roads necessary for exploring the different settlements.

The territory is known for its traditional rural settlement pattern with villages such as Hutki and Krążek that characterize the region's appearance. These smaller communities preserve the characteristic way rural life is organized in this part of Poland.
