Kobylka

Kobyłka, a town in the Masovian Voivodeship, is situated on the Masovian Lowland and boasts a rich history dating back to the 14th century when a parish was established here. In the 16th century, a noble village was founded, and by the 18th century, various manufacturing plants, including a furrier workshop and a printing house, had been established. The town commemorates significant historical events, such as the Battle of Kobyłka in 1794 during the Kościuszko Uprising and the Battle of Warsaw in 1920, where Father Ignacy Skorupka lost his life. Kobyłka was granted town rights in 1969. Architecturally, the town is dominated by the Baroque Basilica of the Holy Trinity, constructed between 1740 and 1745, which features a unique façade and illusionist polychromes. Also noteworthy is the early 19th-century gatekeeper’s house and the historic parish cemetery established in 1803, which holds tombstones of historical and artistic value. Kobyłka is also a town with vibrant cultural life, including the Museum of Arms and Applied Technology and the private Museum of Motorization and Technology. The sports club MKS Wicher Kobyłka, founded in 1926, brings the local community together through various sports sections. Additionally, Kobyłka is home to the Polish Angling Association (PZW) Circle, which organizes numerous fishing and educational events. With its well-developed infrastructure and convenient connections to Warsaw, the town is an attractive place to live.
