Cieszyn

Czaszyn is a picturesque village located in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, within the Sanok County. It is situated on the Osława River, near the border of the Bukowsko Foothills and the Western Bieszczady Mountains. The village boasts a rich history, with the first records dating back to the 15th century. In 1424, Iwanko of Czaszyn sold his estate, and in subsequent years, the names of local officials appeared in documents. The most important historic site in Czaszyn is the parish church from 1761, originally a Greek Catholic church, which was rebuilt in 1835. In the 20th century, the village experienced tragic events, including crimes committed by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army between 1944 and 1946, which led to losses among the Polish population. Czaszyn is also a place of local cultural development, with a Volunteer Fire Department established in 1933 and a People's Sports Club that has been operating since 1948. The village has an active community engaged in various forms of activities. The primary school in Czaszyn, operating since 1876, was recently named after Ignacy Łukasiewicz. Czaszyn cooperates with the Slovak village of Ňagov. Infrastructure, including railway lines and roads, connects Czaszyn with neighboring regions, promoting tourism. The village is also known for its beautiful panoramas, making it attractive to visitors.
