Niebieszczany

Niebieszczany [ɲɛbʲɛʂˈt͡ʂanɨ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Sanok, within Sanok County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland.

In 2006 the village had 2,500 inhabitants and 491 houses.

A village in the Bukowskie Foothills, mentioned as early as 1376 as Najna or Nana, was then granted a royal charter under Magdeburg Law in 1430 by Frederick of Meissen. About 1440 a wooden church was built, and in 1445 a parish was established. The first owner of the village was Frederick Myssnar of Meissen. In 1460, a church was founded by Frederick Jaćmirski Myssnar of Meissen, a sword-bearer of Sanok and owner of Jaćmierz and Niebieszczany. He was followed by his sons Mikołaj, Jan (a Lviv steward), and Leonard (of Pobiedno, a Sanok soldier), who used the Niebieszczany surname. In 1461, Jan Myssnar Jaćmirski, owner of the local fortified manor, endowed the parish in Niebieszczany with further grants.

After the Jaćmirskis, the village was owned by the Drohojowski family, Protestants, who converted the church into a Calvinist congregation in the second half of the 16th century. The church in Niebiesczcany survived until 1621, when, by a royal court judgment in Lublin, the Drohojowski family was forced to give the church back to the Catholics.

In 1712, a second wooden church was built, consecrated by the Bishop of Przemyśl, Wacław Hiernim Sierakowski., in 1745. In 1895 the church underwent renovations, and was demolished in 1926, after the current brick church, built in the neo-Gothic style, was consecrated. The church features a 17th-century main altar, which was transferred from the old wooden church and renovated in 1972 by Stanisław Filip and Maciej Kauczyński. The church also contains 18th-century side altars and a 15th-century stone baptismal font. Other surviving artifacts from the old church include a crucifix from the second quarter of the 15th-century and late Baroque sculptures.

Throughout the 19th century, until 1939, the majority of the land belonged to the Truskolaski and Wiktor families.

In the winter of 1846 the village took an active part in the Galician massacre.

In the summer of 1885, the Niebieszczany estate was purchased by Józef Wiktor for 145,000 zlotys from Kornel and Eleonora Dauksz. At the end of the 19th century, the tabular owner of the estate in the village was his wife Adela Wiktor. in 1905, their son Kazimierz Wiktor owned an area of 599.7 ha in the village.
