Kosina is a village in Poland, located in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, within the Łańcut County. It is situated 23 km east of Rzeszów, near national road no. 94 and railway line no. 91. The village is divided into Upper Kosina (Kosina Górna) and Lower Kosina (Kosina Dolna), reflecting the varied topography of the area. Covering an area of 2043.89 hectares, Kosina has a rich history dating back to the times of Casimir the Great, when it was a settlement of German colonists. The first mention of the village dates back to 1369. Over the centuries, the ownership of Kosina changed hands, and in the 18th century, the village belonged to the Lubomirski family and later to the Sanguszko family. Notable landmarks in the village include the wooden Church of St. Sebastian from 1737, which has been thoroughly restored, and the brick parish Church of St. Stanislaus the Bishop. Kosina also features a former manor house and a park with ancient trees, while among the chapels, the statue of St. John of Nepomuk stands out. The community of Kosina also remembers individuals associated with the village, such as Lieutenant Bronisław Górski and Major Leopold Lis-Kula, victims of the Katyn massacre. Kosina also has its sporting traditions, with the LKS "Dąb" club active since 1950, offering residents various forms of active leisure. An interesting fact is that the village is located in a specific climate, in a rain shadow, which affects weather conditions and agriculture in the region.
