Busko-Zdrój

[1] The origin of Busko goes back to the 12th century, when a group of shepherds settled around St. Leonard's church.

In 1185, Knight Dersław, the owner of Busko and its surroundings, brought Norbertine nuns, whom in his will he inscribed i.a.

In 1251, it received a revenue privilege from King Bolesław V the Chaste allowing the convent to use the salt water.

The advantageous location of the town on trade routes led King Władysław Jagiełło to grant local burghers the right to have a weekly market and two fairs a year beginning in 1412.

The city is in the part of the Świetokrzyskie voivodeship called Ponidzie, whose name came from the river Nida.

The partnership supports long-distance connections with Warsaw, Kraków, Karpacz, Łódź, Lublin, Katowice, Tarnów, Częstochowa and Wrocław.

When Feliks Rzewuski leased Busko in 1820, he built the spa Amenities, which was designed by Henryk Marconi.

Ferdynand Werner, Warsaw's pharmacist, published a full analysis of the water from Rotunda in 1832.

Very intensive expansion of the health resort occurred in the interwar years, which was started by Dr. Szymon Starkiewicz, who founded a children's sanatorium under the name 'Górka'.

It gives Busko's sanatorium the waters of sulphide from a new borehole, located in the town of Las Winiarski.

The health resort is located in the southern part of the city, near the spa's park.

On this promenade we can find 'suns', which belong to the people who are associated with festival and classical music, such as: Krystyna Jamroz [pl], Krzysztof Penderecki, Wiesław Ochman (2008), Bogusław Kaczyński (2008) and Gwendolyn Bradley (2014).

The most popular species in the park are clone, ash, sycamore maple, common hornbeam, Robinia pseudoacacia, linden, chestnut, elm.

We can also find birch, European larch, bird cherry, Gymnocladus canadensis, London plane, yellow chestnut, and Catalpa bignonioides.

On display in the gallery are many different types of works by Polish and foreign artists, such as paintings, carvings and photography.

In the winter the children toboggan from a small hill in Mickiewicza street, called "Byczok" by the residents.

Two kilometres south from Busko is a lake, located in Radzanów village; its area is 23 hectares.

The conflict was resolved in 2004 by the Polish Language Council, which adopted that all two articulate names should be written with a hyphen.
