plan and some of the public buildings of a town. The church is late baroque
(1786) Many local families, as in nearby Stara Wies, are linked to the
Grzesiuks. This family came from the Ukraine, via the city of Chelm. The
family is divided into the 'village Grzesiuk' and the 'forest Grzesiuk'

purposes, such as tomatoes and apples, the tomatoes are mainly sold to
a local factory in Milejow. There are meadows between the village and the
