Jeziorzany [Łysobyki](Lysobyki)
A large village on the Wieprz river, surrounded by wetlands and with a large lake just to the northwest. The village has many old houses and received its location act in 1498. Jeziorzany is a relatively recent name, from 1533 to 1871 it had the status of a town and was known as Lysobyki. It was an important local trading centre and much of the goods were transported by boat on the river, which connects with the Vistula. The burghers here traded in handicrafts, agricultural products and timber. There is a ford in the river at this point, and one of the villages sources of income was a crossing tax. Its history was not always a happy one as it was devastated many times and eventually lost its significance. In the 1831 uprising there was a battle here, known as the Lysobki Uprising. During WW1 it was on the border between Russian and Austrian controlled territories. Its history of being a town can be seen in its street layout and market square.
CHURCH: The Roman Catholic church was built in the period 1782-1798, of brick on the banks of the river in the Baroque style.
