Pleszów

Pleszów is a former village in the Nowa Huta district of Kraków located along residential streets beside the Tadeusz Sendzimir Steelworks. The area combines older structures with modern industrial architecture that shapes the character of the neighborhood.

The settlement appears in written records from 1313 when Duke Władysław Łokietek granted settlement rights to this farming community. Its transformation to an industrial area began in the 20th century with major factories established nearby.

The Church of Saint Vincent shows Neoclassical features and holds furnishings moved from a historic church in Kraków. The neighborhood retains a village character surrounded by industrial development.

The location connects easily by public transportation, with multiple bus lines serving the Nowa Huta district regularly. Walking routes work best along the main streets that run through the residential area.

Archaeological digs in the 1960s uncovered a treasure of silver coins from the 10th and 11th centuries. These coins suggest the area had settlements much earlier than the written records indicate.
