Jagiełło

Jagiełła is a village located in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, in the municipality of Tryńcza, known for its rich history dating back to the 15th century when, in 1450, it became the property of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre in Przeworsk. The village is the seat of the Catholic parish of St. Hedwig the Queen, and its history is inextricably linked with the nearby village of Ujezna. Over the centuries, the village was frequently mentioned in documents, including under the names Zawada and Wola Podsamska. In 1716, it passed into the hands of the Lubomirski family, which led to the adoption of a new name—Jagiełła—in honor of the king who visited these lands. In the 20th century, the village underwent ownership transformations, and in 1983, the parish was established. In 1982, the newly built church of St. Hedwig the Queen was consecrated. Jagiełła also stands out for the number of clergy it has produced—as many as 14 priests hail from the village, a rare phenomenon. In addition to its rich history, the village also boasts numerous tourist attractions, such as the Jagiełła Mound, erected in 1910 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald, and the cemetery of the victims of Nazism, where 6,500 Soviet prisoners of war are buried. The village is also characterized by beautiful forested areas and an active sports club, Zorza Jagiełła, founded in 1968. Jagiełła is a place that combines rich cultural heritage with active social and religious life, making it an important point on the regional map.
