Psary-Kąty, Rural settlement in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland
Psary-Kąty is a village in Swietokrzyskie Voivodeship, located on the southern slopes of the Swietokrzyskie Mountains in central Poland. It is made up of scattered farmhouses surrounded by fields, meadows, and patches of forest, sitting at a noticeable elevation above the surrounding valleys.
Psary-Kąty developed as a farming settlement over many centuries, following the pattern of small rural communities common to this part of Poland. In 1974, a satellite ground station with seven parabolic antennas was built here, turning the village into a telecommunications hub until 2010.
The name Psary-Kąty likely refers to an old place where dogs were kept, pointing to early farming traditions in the area. Today the village sits at the edge of forested hills, and its rural character is still visible in the open fields and scattered farmsteads.
The village is a good starting point for walks into Swietokrzyskie National Park, with trails accessible directly from the area. Local farmhouses offer accommodation, which makes it easy to spend a few days exploring the surrounding hills and forests at a relaxed pace.
The Pine House, a residence on an elevated slope, offers a direct view toward both Lysica and Lysa Gora, the two highest peaks in the Swietokrzyskie range. Seeing both summits from a single point is not common in the area, which makes this spot worth noticing.
