Zgłobień

Zgłobień is a village in Poland, located in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, with a rich history dating back to the 14th century. Mentioned in historical documents as Sglobyen, it was associated with the Jarosławski family of the Leliwa coat of arms. Over the centuries, Zgłobień changed hands multiple times, including being owned by Spytek Jarosławski and later his descendants. In the 16th century, Spytek Wawrzyniec Jordan played a significant role by expanding the estate into a latifundium. One of the most notable landmarks in Zgłobień is the Renaissance defensive manor from the second half of the 16th century. Although the three-story building lost one floor due to reconstruction, its stone portals and cellars have been preserved. Additionally, the manor complex includes a Classicist manor house from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, which served various functions over the years, including as a primary school. Architecturally, the remnants of the Church of St. Andrew the Apostle also stand out. Its origins date back to the 15th century, with a Baroque-style brick church built in 1741. Zgłobień witnessed numerous historical events, including the assassination of political activists after World War II. An interesting fact is that the village is the hometown of the renowned musician Tadeusz Nalepa. Despite hardships, such as the confiscation of property by German occupiers during World War II, Zgłobień has preserved its cultural and architectural heritage, making it a fascinating place to explore the history of the Podkarpacie region.
