Gmina Krzeszowice, Urban-rural municipality in Kraków County, Poland

Krzeszowice is an urban-rural municipality in Kraków County within Lesser Poland Voivodeship, encompassing both developed areas and agricultural lands. The territory includes several villages and settlements spread across varied terrain.

The area began as a spa settlement and later grew in importance through marble extraction in Dębnik during medieval times. Mining activities shaped the local economy for centuries.

The Monastery of Discalced Carmelites in Czerna shapes the religious identity of the area and draws visitors seeking spiritual reflection. The site remains an active center where faith and daily practice are woven into the local landscape.

The area connects easily through railway lines and proximity to the A4 motorway, which links Western Europe to Ukraine. Visitors benefit from good transport links to regional cities.

The ruins of Tenczyn Castle stand in Rudno village, a medieval fortress from the 14th century that once dominated the landscape. Today this site offers a window into the region's defensive architecture and medieval past.
