Pruchna, Village in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Pruchna extends across 19 square kilometers between the Ostrava and Oświęcim Basins, with forests occupying its southeastern section.

The village appears in Latin documents from 1305 and underwent changes during the Protestant Reformation of the 1540s, later becoming a Catholic parish.

The population of 2,438 residents maintains Polish traditions, with the reconstructed Saint Anne church serving as a central religious landmark.

The village features a train station established on the Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway, connecting residents to neighboring municipalities.

The name Pruchna derives from the Polish word 'próchno', referring to rotten trees that were found in the area.
