Pędzichów Street in Kraków is a street in Kraków, in District I of the Old Town in Kleparz.
This street was most likely the main road of the village of Pędzichów, bordering Kleparz, a reminder of which is the boundary stone, preserved to this day, placed at the mouth of the street. The name may come from the herding of cattle to the city here, the proper name Pędzich, or the leading of convicts to the city gallows, which were located at the end of the street. [1] [2]
Since 1441, at the corner of today's Długa and Pędzichów streets, there was the church of St. Valentine. Destroyed several times by fires and wars, then rebuilt, it was finally demolished in 1819. [1] [2]
The houses are mainly tenement houses and a few public buildings. Most of them were built in the last two decades of the 19th century, replacing the wooden buildings on the street. [1]
