Kończyce Wielkie

Kończyce Wielkie is a rural village in the border region near Czechia, with rolling countryside varying in elevation from 250 to 294 meters. The settlement spreads across approximately 12 square kilometers of agricultural landscape with traditional buildings and open fields.

The village first appears in medieval church records from 1305, documented as a settled territory with land obligations. This early mention shows the area was already organized and populated during the Middle Ages.

The wooden Church of Saint Michael the Archangel forms the visual center of the village and reflects local building traditions from the 1700s. Such structures show how communities expressed their faith through craft and materials available to them.

Direct road access connects the village to Cieszyn to the south, providing gateway access to urban services and local transport networks. The proximity to this town makes it straightforward to reach shops, services, and transit options while remaining in a rural setting.

A 17th-century palace built by a local landowner underwent transformation after 1945 and now operates as a hotel. This building bridges the area's aristocratic past with its present-day hospitality function.
