Żarnowiec, Historic village with medieval roots in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Żarnowiec extends along the banks of the Pilica River, surrounded by the hills of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, 67 kilometers northeast of Katowice.

The village's documented history begins in 1098 when Prince Władysław I Herman held a meeting with his sons, as recorded in the Chronicle of Gallus Anonymus.

The parish church from the 14th century and the market square remain central elements of village life, preserving centuries of architectural and social traditions.

Located 32 kilometers east of Zawiercie, Żarnowiec offers access to regional transportation networks connecting to major cities like Kraków and Katowice.

The village features a bell tower from the 19th century that houses a bell dating to 1551, marking over 470 years of continuous timekeeping.
