Nieporet

Nieporęt is a village in the Masovian Voivodeship, located on the shores of the Zegrze Reservoir, 25 km from Warsaw. It was once a town, having received its town rights in 1484, but lost them before 1660. The history of the settlement dates back to 1388, when the local parish was established. In the 17th century, Nieporęt became a popular destination for the Vasa dynasty, and King Sigismund III Vasa built the Royal Canal, which was later transformed into the Żerański Canal. Among its historical landmarks, the Baroque church from the years 1661–1667 stands out, featuring a portal with the Vasa coat of arms and a bell tower. In 1882, the village was struck by a major fire, and during World War I, soldiers of the Polish Legions were interned there. In the interwar period, Nieporęt faced difficulties, but after World War II, its development accelerated; new housing estates were built, and infrastructure was expanded. In 1945, the Municipal National Council was established, and the village began to rebuild. Among cultural curiosities, it is worth mentioning that two songs were created in Nieporęt, and it is also the setting of Arkadiusz Niemirski's book "Pan Samochodzik i Kradzież w Nieporęcie" (Mr. Automobile and the Theft in Nieporęt). The village is also home to several sports clubs, including LKS Rotavia Nieporęt and UKS Dębina Nieporęt. It is also noteworthy that during the modernization of the school sports field, remains of a building from the times of King John II Casimir were discovered.
