Konopnica [Conopnicza]
A village strung out along a small river in a narrow valley. The southern half of the village is mainly houses, whilst the northern end is mainly farmsteads. The land is quite heavily undulating, open and arable. This village is mentioned in 1342. In 1400 it was purchased by Lublin town council and became part of the Lublin community (there may, therefore, be records of the village in the city archives). The brick church dates from 1905, when it replaced a wooden church on the same site. Brick foundations from the original church form part of the foundations of the replacement. There is the ruins of an 18th century belfry.
