Krasków is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Marcinowice, within Świdnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]
Krasków lies approximately 14km (09miles) north-east of Świdnica, and 40km (30miles) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
The name of the village is of Polish origin and comes from the word kraska, which means "roller".[2]
Krasków is the site of a Baroque palace, built by the Bohemian Zedlitz-Leipe noble family in 1746, allegedly according to plans by Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach. Situated in a park laid out by Peter Joseph Lenné in 1848 it today serves as a hotel.
