The village is located in the western part of the Kaczawskie Mountains, between the Southern Ridge and the Northern Ridge, at an altitude of 400-520 meters above sea level. It is surrounded by the hills of Skopiec, Folwarczna (Maślak), Ogier, Kobyła, Źrebak, Krzyżowa, and Radostka.
The vicinity features a diverse geological structure, represented by various rocks that are part of the Kaczawa metamorphic unit. In the crystalline limestones located to the south of the village, the Walońska Cave and the nearby Białe Rocks have developed.
The ruins of the church in Podgórki with the observation tower
In the upper part of the village are the ruins of a church built in the early 16th century, on the site of an older medieval structure. The building burned down in the 19th century and was partially dismantled. Remnants of walls constructed from local greenstone have been preserved, along with the tower. Two Renaissance tombstones from the von Zedlitz family were embedded in the church wall. At the beginning of this century, the ruins were arranged and secured, and the tower was made accessible with stairs and a platform at the top.
The former evangelical church
On the hill above the ruins stands the former evangelical church, built in the mid-18th century, currently used as a Catholic filial church dedicated to St. Joseph, the Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Next to it, there is a bell tower covered with a roof and the former rectory building. In the lower part of the village, along the road to the Radzyń hamlet, there is a palace complex. It was erected in the first half of the 18th century, but its contemporary appearance is mainly the result of reconstruction at the end of the 19th century and expansion in 1915, when a gallery and a side pavilion in the Neo-Baroque style were added to the older structure. The village has preserved many houses with a traditional, brick-and-timber construction.
Palace
In the lower part of the village, there is a palace and park complex created in 1728, renovated in 1874 and 1915. Currently partially ruined.
