Podegrodzie, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Medieval village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

Podegrodzie sits at an elevation of 306 meters between two ancient fortified structures, Zamczysko and Grobla, in southern Poland's mountainous region.

The Roman Catholic parish of Podegrodzie, established by Boleslaw Chrobry in 1014, stands among the earliest religious institutions in Lesser Poland.

The village maintains strong connections to the Lachy Sadeckie ethnic group through its local museum and preservation of regional traditions.

Located 11 kilometers southwest of Nowy Sącz and 72 kilometers southeast of Kraków, Podegrodzie functions as the administrative center of Gmina Podegrodzie.

The village's name derives from its location beneath two medieval defensive structures, reflecting its strategic position in ancient Polish territories.
