Bobrowniki

The Bobrowniki Commune, a rural municipality located in the Zagłębie Dąbrowskie region of the Silesian Voivodeship, is a place with a rich history dating back to 1848. It was then that the Government Commune, known as the Bobrowniki Economy, was established. In the post-war period, the commune's territory underwent changes, with its current shape being established in 1999. The commune is home to valuable historical monuments, such as a wooden church from 1669 featuring Baroque altars and rich polychrome paintings. Another interesting site is the manor house in Dobieszowice from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, recognized as a second-class monument, with a legendary tunnel that allegedly connected it to the nearby Świerklaniec. The Bobrowniki Commune covers an area of 51.99 km², predominantly agricultural land (63%) and forests (20%). Despite a negative natural population growth, the commune attracts residents, as reflected in a positive migration balance. Bobrowniki's partner city is Krnov in the Czech Republic. The commune boasts a well-developed road infrastructure, with plans for the construction of the A1 highway, and is fully equipped with water supply and sewage networks. There are 959 registered business entities within its territory, and residents often find employment in nearby cities. The leading theme of local culture revolves around educational institutions and the Culture Center, which organizes a variety of events. Environmental protection is a priority, with a waste management program and aesthetic regulations in place. The commune serves as an important recreational hub with forest areas and water reservoirs in Rogoźnik, attracting residents from surrounding urban areas.
