Krakow was surrounded by servant settlements which, as the city developed, became suburbs and finally districts of Greater Krakow. The dispute over jurisdiction in these areas was open and therefore the situation was used by various guild obstacles who were not members of the guilds – they acted outside the law of craftsmen. Further areas that did not turn into districts became part of the city. They were rich in historic manors, churches and parks, which served as an auxiliary to the castle and the city.
