Libertów

Libertów is a village located in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, primarily known for its manor complex, which includes a manor house and a park registered as immovable monuments. The history of Libertów dates back to the 14th century, when it was a knightly settlement and later a noble estate, with the first mention in historical records from 1322. The village lies on the important trade route known as the "Salt Road," which contributed to its development. Over the centuries, Libertów passed through the hands of various noble families, including the Cikowskis, Ossolińskis, and Waksmans. After World War I, the Libertów estate became the property of the Skorupko-Padlewski family, who managed it until World War II. In the interwar period, Libertów was a center of social life, with the development of education and the activity of local activists. In the 20th century, the village suffered destruction during World War II, and after the war, the manor estate was parceled out. In the 1950s, Libertów served as the seat of the Gromada National Council, and in 1971, the manor complex was entered into the register of monuments. In the 21st century, the village gained new infrastructure, and in 2001, the Church of St. Brother Albert was consecrated. Thus, Libertów is a place with a rich history, valuable monuments, and cultural significance, blending tradition with modernity.
