Krasków lies approximately 14 kilometres (9 mi) north-east of Świdnica, and 40 kilometres (25 mi) 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.
