Małogoszcz

Małogoszcz can be proud of its history dating back to the early Middle Ages.

The settlement functioned already in the early Piast times, and in 1136 it was mentioned for the first time in the bull of the archbishop of Gniezno. In 1408, King Władysław Jagiełło granted the town the Magdeburg Law. The town is immortalized in history textbooks. On February 24, 1863, one of the greatest battles of the January Uprising took place here - the great defeat of Polish troops under the command of Marian Langiewicz.

The old spatial arrangement with the market square and corner streets has been preserved in Małogoszcz. Near Kościuszko Square there is a church. Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, originally renaissance from 1591 - 1595, rebuilt at the end of the 18th century and in the second half of the 19th century. Next to it, you can admire the Renaissance presbytery from the 16th - 17th centuries, the place of Langiewicz's quarters. In the Małogoszcz cemetery, it is worth paying attention to the church of Stanisław Biskupa from 1595, with a round tower.
