Szydłów[2][3][4] [ˈʂɨdwuf] is a village in Staszów County, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, in south-central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Szydłów. It lies approximately 13 kilometres (8 mi) west of Staszów and 43 km (27 mi) south-east of the regional capital Kielce.[5]

The village has a population of 1,093.

Szydłów's history dates to the 12th century. It gained its city rights in 1329 and lost them in 1869. It has several tourist attractions, including the 16th-century Szydłów Synagogue, several buildings and churches dating to the 14th century and the ruins of a castle from the same period.

The first official inventory of important buildings in Poland, A General View of the Nature of Ancient Monuments in the Kingdom of Poland, led by Kazimierz Stronczynski from 1844-55, describes the Szydłów Synagogue as one of Poland's architecturally notable buildings.[6]
