Frampol

Frampol is a town in Poland, in Biłgoraj County, Lublin Voivodeship. It has 1,440 inhabitants , and lies in eastern Lesser Poland, near the Roztocze Upland. Frampol is surrounded by the Szczebrzeszyn Landscape Park and the Janów Lubelski Forest. The town is a junction of two local roads . The distance to Lublin is 68 kilometers. The town was founded in 1717 by Count Marek Antoni Butler, with a unique, highly symmetric layout of streets in the shape of concentric rectangles around a large central square. Frampol lies in the area where once the village of Radzięcin existed. Its name, originally spelled Franopole, comes from Franciszka née Szczuka, the wife of Count Butler. In 1735, the Jewish community of Frampol already had its own cemetery, and in 1740, Józef Butler funded a wooden church, which since 1778 exists as a separate parish. In the second half of the 18th century, the town belonged to the Wysocki family. It was an important center of artisans, mostly cloth makers, and like in other locations of eastern Poland, all houses were made of timber. Until 1795, Frampol belonged to Lublin Voivodeship, one of three regions of Lesser Poland. In 1795 1807 it was part of the Habsburg Empire, then it briefly belonged to the Duchy of Warsaw, which in 1815 was turned into Russian-controlled Congress Poland. In 1921, already in the Second Polish Republic, the population of Frampol was 2,720. Currently, it is one of the smallest towns in Poland. In 1869 Frampol lost its official status as a town, to recover it only in 1993. During World War II 90% of the town's buildings were destroyed in a raid carried out by the Luftwaffe on September 13, 1939. During the German occupation the town's significant Jewish community perished in the Holocaust. The town never fully recovered its population today is less than half of what it was before the war. Frampol, or a fictionalized version thereof, is the setting of many of the best stories of Isaac Bashevis Singer, including Gimpel the Fool.

Tarnogród

Tarnogród is a town in Biłgoraj County, Lublin Voivodeship, Poland. It has a population of 3,399 . The history of the town dates back to the Middle Ages settlement, then known as Cierniogród. The town had city rights from 16th to 19th century, and regained them in 1987. There are various tourist attractions in the town, including a synagogue built in 1686 and a late baroque church built in 1750-1771. Outside the church there is a belfry from 1777. Even though Tarnogrod now belongs to Lublin Voivodeship, the town does not have any historic connections with Lesser Poland, as for most of its history, it was part of Red Ruthenian Land of Przemysl. Currently, Tarnogrod is southernmost town of the voivodeship; the distance to Lublin is 110 kilometers, while the distance to Rzeszow is only 70 kilometers. In the early 19th century, Tarnogrod was 7th biggest town of Russian-controlled Congress Poland, and in 1810-1842, it was the seat of a county. Tarnogrod was founded in the mid-16th century in a location where a defensive gord called Cierniogrod once had existed. It received Magdeburg rights in Piotrkow Trybunalski, on May 14, 1567, from King Zygmunt August. The House of Zamoyski, which owned Tarnogrod, built houses around a market square, together with a wooden town hall and prison tower. Later on, a hospital was added, together with two churches and a bath house. The town had three gates, its population in 1589 is estimated at app. 1,500. In 1588, Tarnogrod became part of Zamoyski Family Fee Tail. The town had a vogt, a mayor and a council. In the early 17th century, Tarnogrod had two Roman Catholic churches, a synagogue and an Orthodox church. In the mid-17th century, numerous wars and plagues decimated Tarnogrod’s population. On 26 November 1715, the Tarnogrod Confederation was formed here. Following the first partition of Poland , the town was captured by Austrians, who brought here German settlers. Austrian rule ended in 1809 (see Polish-Austrian War), and for the next 6 years, Tarnogrod belonged to the Duchy of Warsaw, in which it became seat of a county (until 1842). In 1815, the Duchy was renamed into Russian-controlled Congress Poland, in which Tarnogrod initially was 7th largest city (after Warsaw, Kalisz, Lublin, Plock, Zamosc and Piotrkow Trybunalski), with population of 3,391. On May 19, 1870, Tarnogrod lost its town charter, even though its population reached 5,000. On June 17, 1915, Tarnogrod was captured by Austrian forces, which remained here until November 1918. In the Second Polish Republic, Tarnogrod belonged to Bilgoraj County, Lublin Voivodeship. On September 15, 1939, the Wehrmacht entered the village, burning several houses. On September 27, the Germans withdrew, and were replaced by the Red Army, which remained here for two weeks. On October 26, 1939, Tarnogrod became part of General Government’s Lublin District. Germans carried out several massacres in the area of the village, which resulted in Polish rebellion, the Zamosc Uprising. Red Army re-entered Tarnogrod in July 1944. On January 1, 1987, Tarnogrod regained its town status. On the outbreak of World War II there were about 2,500 Jews in Tarnogrod. The Jewish community was liquidated on Nov. 2, 1942, when 3,000 Jews from Tarnogrod and its vicinity were deported to the Belzec death camp.

Zamość

Zamość pronounced is a city in southeastern Poland, situated in the southern part of Lublin Voivodeship , about 90 km from Lublin, 247 km from Warsaw and 60 km from the border with Ukraine. In 2004, the population was 66,633. The historical centre of Zamość was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992, following a decision of the sixteenth ordinary session of the World Heritage Committee, held between 7 and 14 December 1992 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States. As described by UNESCO: Zamość is a unique example of a Renaissance town in Central Europe, consistently designed and built in accordance with the Italian theories of the "ideal town," on the basis of a plan which was the result of perfect cooperation between the open-minded founder, Jan Zamoyski, and the outstanding architect, Bernardo Morando. Zamość is an outstanding example of an innovative approach to town planning, combining the functions of an urban ensemble, a residence, and a fortress in accordance with a consistently implemented Renaissance concept. The result of this is a stylistically homogeneous urban composition with a high level of architectural and landscape values. A real asset of this great construction was its creative enhancement with local artistic architectural achievements. Zamość is about 20 kilometres from the Roztocze National Park.

Rossosz

Rossosz is a village in Biała Podlaska County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina called Gmina Rossosz. It lies approximately 25 kilometres south of Biała Podlaska and 110 km north-east of the regional capital Lublin. The village has a population of 1,000. Rossosz dates back to the 13th century, when it was a small settlement, which in the early 14th century became a royal property. In the early 15th century, it was handed over to the Polubinski family, and probably in the mid-16th century, it was granted town charter, with a permission for a weekly market and two annual fairs. Rossosz was located along a route from Krakow to Vilnius, and frequently changed owners. In early 17th century, it belonged to Stanislaw Koniecpolski, who in 1624 sold it to Mikolaj Firlej. In 1640 Rossosz burned in a great fire. The newly rebuilt town was completely ransacked and burned to the ground by Swedes and Transilvanians in Swedish invasion of Poland . In 1815 1915 Rossosz belonged to Russian-controlled Congress Poland, and during the January Uprising, a skirmish between Russians and Polish rebels took place here. Rossosz lost its town charter in 1870.
