Tarnów

Tarnowiec is a village in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, in Jasło County, known for its rich history and valuable monuments. The settlement is situated on a hill 268 meters above sea level in the Jasiołka river basin, near railway line 108. In the past, Tarnowiec was owned by many prominent families, including the Pełka, Dąbrowski, and Kuropatnicki families. In the 18th century, Ewaryst Andrzej Kuropatnicki, a castellan and renowned geographer, established Tarnowiec as a center of cultural and scientific life, hosting theater performances and concerts. The village is also known for the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Entrustment, whose origins date back to the 14th century. The miraculous statue of the Virgin Mary, carved in the early 15th century, is an object of special veneration, and its history is linked to its rescue from destruction during the Austro-Hungarian era. Tarnowiec also features the historic manor of the Piliński family from the first third of the 19th century, as well as the cellars of the former Kuropatnicki manor. The village is steeped in traditions and memories of figures associated with the area, such as Tadeusz and Włodzimierz Piliński, as well as Józef Miączyński, a Bar Confederation participant. The village combines a rich architectural, cultural, and historical heritage, making it an important part of Galicia's legacy.
