history
A parish was established in 1186 in the oldest part of the parish, Stary Korczyn. Bolesław Wstydliwy was born in Nowy Korczyn Castle in 1226 and lived there with his wife Kinga of Poland (Kunigunde). After the Mongol storm in 1241, the residence of the princes was moved to Nowy Korczyn, which received city rights in 1264. The Franciscan monastery was founded in 1271. From the 15th century onwards, the Sejmik (Provincial Parliament) for Lesser Poland took place regularly in Nowy Korczyn. In 1469 the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order in Nowy Korczyn paid homage to the Polish King Casimir IV Jagiełło . The city already had an aqueduct in the 16th century. Nowy Korczyn had a Jewish community since the mid-16th century, which in 1921 made up 67% of the population. The town began to decline in the 17th century, culminating in the loss of town charter by the Tsar's edict in 1869.
The village of Czarkowy developed into a center of Socinianism (often called Arians in Poland) in the 16th century . Five synods of the Polish Brothers took place there between 1642 and 1659 . After the Socinians were driven out, the village passed to the Morsztyn family, who built a castle. In 1914 the Polish Legions under Józef Piłsudski won a victory over the Russian troops here.
In 1795 Nowy Karczyn fell to Austria with the Third Partition of Poland . In 1809 it came to the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 to the Kingdom of Poland . After the end of the First World War , the place came back to the newly formed Poland .
During the Second World War , the Jewish community fell victim to the Holocaust . On January 1, 2019, Nowy Korczyn was restored to town.
local community
The Vistula forms the eastern municipal boundary over a length of 19 km. The community has an agricultural character with almost 70% arable land (cereals, potatoes, animal breeding, fruit and vegetable cultivation) and around 10% forest area. Part of the community is part of the Nida Landscape Park .
