wycigany

Wycigany is a village located in the administrative district of Gmina Lasków, within Wieruszów County in the Łódź Voivodeship of central Poland. It lies roughly 3 km south of the town of Lasków, 12 km east of Wieruszów, and 97 km south‑west of the regional capital Łódź. The settlement has a population of about 180 residents.

The first written record of Wycigany dates back to 1375, when it was mentioned in a charter issued by Duke Jan III of Cieszyn and listed as an estate granted to the Cistercian Abbey of Włocławek. Throughout the late Middle Ages the village remained a small agrarian community within the Polish Crown. After the Partitions of Poland in the late 18th century, Wycigany fell under Austrian rule as part of the province of Galicia until the collapse of the Austro‑Hungarian Empire in 1918, when it was reintegrated into the Second Polish Republic. The area experienced German occupation during World War II and was restored to Polish administration after the war ended.

Wycigany’s local economy is dominated by agriculture, with crop cultivation and small‑scale animal husbandry forming the main livelihoods. The village is noted for its 18th‑century baroque wooden church of St. Anna, a protected heritage monument, and an annual summer festival that showcases regional folk music. No major industrial enterprises are present, and the community remains predominantly rural. Notable individuals from Wycigany include [name], a regional folk artist.
