Żarnowiec, Rural settlement in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Żarnowiec is a village in Silesian Voivodeship located in the northeastern part of the region. It sits along the Pilica River within the hilly landscape of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland.

The village first appears in written records in 1098, mentioned in the Chronicle of Gallus Anonymus regarding an encounter between Prince Władysław I Herman and his sons. The Tadeusz Kościuszko Mound was constructed in 1918 to commemorate Polish national identity.

The parish church dates to the 14th century and reflects the religious traditions that shaped the community over time. The village has long served as a focal point for surrounding settlements.

The village is easily accessible with a traditional layout centered around the church building. The Tadeusz Kościuszko Mound sits at the edge and provides views of the surrounding landscape.

A monument in the village commemorates Joel Barlow, an American diplomat who died here in 1812 while traveling. This memorial reveals an unexpected international connection of this small settlement.
