Nowa Słupia [ˈnɔva ˈswupja] is a town in Kielce County, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, in south-central Poland.

In the 13th and 14th centuries, Nowa Słupia belonged to the Święty Krzyż Benedictine Abbey, and at that time the village was called Słup.

In 1351, due to efforts of Benedictine abbots, King Casimir III the Great granted town charter to Slup.

In 1869, following the January Uprising, Nowa Słupia was reduced to the status of a village, together with several other locations in northern Lesser Poland.

The Nowa Słupia Jewish community served as a hub for Jews in Dębno, Jeziorko, Hucisko, Sosnówka, Wólka and Mirocice.

[4] Currently, Nowa Słupia is a tourist center, with Mieczyslaw Radwan Museum of Old-Polish Steel Mills, opened in 1960.

Every year, a festival called Dymarki Swietokrzyskie (Holy Cross Bloomeries) is organized here in mid-August, at an open-air museum, Archeological – and Cultural Center.

The figure moves towards the summit at a pace of one grain of sand a year, and it will reach the top at the end of the world.
