history
A Slavic castle is said to have existed in Stopnica as early as the 9th century. At the end of the 11th century Stopnica developed into an ecclesiastical center; the first documentary mention took place in 1121 in a decree of Pope Innocent III. In 1362 the place was granted city rights by King Casimir the Great . This king also donated the parish church of St. Peter and Paul, a Gothic pseudo-two-aisled hall church, which belongs to the type of Casimir Church or Barycka Church (six atonement churches for the murder of the priest Marcin Barycka, who had warned the king about immoral conduct; the others in Wiślica , Szydłów , Sandomierz , Kargów and Zagość ).
In the 16th century, Stopnica was owned by the Zborowski family and then the Tarnowski family . During the invasion of Sweden and again in 1657 the place was devastated.
In 1795, Stopnica fell to Austria with the Third Partition of Poland. In 1809 Stopnica came to the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 to the Kingdom of Poland . In the 19th century, the place, known for its cloth production, cattle and poultry trade, was the seat of the district. In 1869 the city charter was lost by decree of the tsar. After the end of the First World War , the place came back to the newly formed Poland. During the Second World War , Stopnica suffered great damage in 1939 and 1944. The large Jewish community fell victim to the Holocaust . A ghetto with around 5,000 inmates and a labor camp for men and women had previously been set up in the community.
On January 1, 2015, Stopnica regained its town charter.
