About Kromołów
Where to stay in Kromołów
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Zawiercie keeps the rooms and Kromołów keeps the age, so a base in the town proper leaves the borough a short outing away, which is how most people come to the Saint Nicholas church. Beds in the borough are few. What Kromołów offers in exchange is the older and quieter end of Zawiercie, upland ground underfoot, and a parish that predates everything raised around it.
About Kromołów
What are the main landmarks in Kromołów?
One monument stands on the record here. The Saint Nicholas church in Zawiercie Kromołów marks the oldest quarter of the town, a parish building from the era when Kromołów answered for itself rather than to the place that later took it in. Ground matters more than architecture.
Around the church the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland gives the borough its footing, and that upland carries on well past the edges of Zawiercie.
What is the history of Kromołów?
Kromołów was a town before it was a borough. That older standing is why the record names it the oldest and most historic part of Zawiercie, a settlement with its own name, its own parish, and a Saint Nicholas church still serving the streets that grew up around it. The town rank did not last.
Zawiercie expanded, took Kromołów in, and the former town became one quarter among those listed in the Silesian Voivodeship of Poland.
Where is Kromołów?
Kromołów spreads over some sixteen square kilometres of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, at the oldest end of Zawiercie in Poland.
