Pietrowice Wielkie is a large communal village, located west of Racibórz. It distinguishes itself by an oval layout, which has been preserved to this day. The layout was already created in the time of its foundation. In the center of the village a road forks out forming a spindle-shaped square, to which strips of fields are adjacent located on its external side. In the village it is worthwhile to see farms of the Franconian type, old churches and numerous shrines and roadside crosses.
