Gmina Tarczyn

Gmina Tarczyn is an administrative municipality that covers both urban areas and rural settlements across east-central Poland. The territory consists of several villages surrounding the central town of Tarczyn, with forests and farmland forming much of the landscape.

The town of Tarczyn was granted Magdeburg rights and church construction permission in 1353 by Duke Casimir I, marking its development as a regional center. This charter allowed the settlement to grow and establish itself as an important place in the area.

The area maintains traditional Polish village life where local customs are visible in community gatherings and seasonal celebrations. These practices shape how residents connect with each other and their surroundings.

The municipality connects to Warsaw via the S7 highway, making it accessible for both visitors and residents traveling from the capital. The proximity to Warsaw provides convenient access for day trips.

The territory includes sections of Chojnów Landscape Park, a protected area with forests and diverse natural habitats. Visitors can explore woodlands and experience nature away from urban areas.
