Osiek, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship

<h2 id="history">History</h2>

<p>Osiek is one of the oldest towns in the region. According to legends, in 1020 King <a href="/facts/Boles%25C5%2582aw_Chrobry/STDhC8z1">Bolesław Chrobry</a> presented the village called <i>Ossziek</i> to the Benedictine Monastery at <a href="/facts/%25C5%259Awi%25C4%2599ty_Krzy%25C5%25BC/ky94Ldx6">Święty Krzyż</a>. In 1253 the name of the village was spelled <i>Ossek</i>. It belonged to Princes of <a href="/facts/Sandomierz/A7tje6r6">Sandomierz</a>, and had its own marketplace. In 1270, Osiek was the property of Prince <a href="/facts/Boles%25C5%2582aw_V_the_Chaste/xTrrXTd8">Bolesław V the Chaste</a>. Its residents took advantage of a favorable location, along a merchant route from <a href="/facts/Krak%25C3%25B3w/hubj59IT">Kraków</a>, through Sandomierz and <a href="/facts/Lublin/MIuLH9pa">Lublin</a>, to the <a href="/facts/Grand_Duchy_of_Lithuania/9czbKcfs">Grand Duchy of Lithuania</a>. Many <a href="/facts/Piast_dynasty/tA6n23Ku">Piast dynasty</a> princes would stop here during their trips across the country. Osiek most likely was a fortified <a href="/facts/Gord_(archaeology)/IE2sgJyj">gord</a>, and in the mid-14th century, King <a href="/facts/Casimir_III_the_Great/bxF1ALTK">Casimir III the Great</a> built (or strengthened) a local castle.
</p><p>Osiek was burned in the <a href="/facts/Second_Mongol_invasion_of_Poland/wqCrSI45">Second Mongol invasion of Poland</a>, but the village was quickly rebuilt. In 1430, King <a href="/facts/W%25C5%2582adys%25C5%2582aw_II_Jagie%25C5%2582%25C5%2582o/D0wzcRK6">Władysław II Jagiełło</a> granted it the <a href="/facts/Magdeburg_rights/0pg5dLec">Magdeburg rights</a>, allowing the town to organize weekly markets on Wednesdays. Osiek was a <a href="/facts/Royal_city_in_Poland/FweMTBB3">royal town</a> of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Chęciny County in the <a href="/facts/Sandomierz_Voivodeship/MTeNVSs8">Sandomierz Voivodeship</a> in the <a href="/facts/Lesser_Poland_Province%2c_Crown_of_the_Kingdom_of_Poland/CS330CrF">Lesser Poland Province</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> It prospered during the <a href="/facts/Polish_Golden_Age/UUfc3rhj">Polish Golden Age</a>. In the second half of the 16th century, its population amounted to 1,000, with a number of <a href="/facts/Guild/cWSyNP50">guilds</a>, such as bakers, butchers, blacksmiths, tailors, potmakers, and millers. Osiek had 100 houses, and a wooden parish church of St. Stanisław. The decline of the town was brought by the <a href="/facts/Deluge_(history)/V0bm4Ksq">Swedish invasion of Poland</a> (1655–1660). Like almost all Lesser Poland's towns, Osiek was ransacked and burned, and never recovered from the destruction.
</p><p>Following the <a href="/facts/Third_Partition_of_Poland/0nn4f577">Third Partition of Poland</a>, in 1795, it was annexed by <a href="/facts/Habsburg_monarchy/ctwsV3TC">Austria</a>. After the Polish victory in the <a href="/facts/Austro-Polish_War/4Kl9ydQe">Austro-Polish War</a> of 1809, it was regained by Poles and included within the short-lived <a href="/facts/Duchy_of_Warsaw/bL4FweAd">Duchy of Warsaw</a>. After its dissolution, since 1815, it was part of the <a href="/facts/Russian_Partition/b3GbLYhK">Russian-controlled</a> <a href="/facts/Congress_Poland/sxYtmc67">Congress Poland</a>. The town further declined in the 19th century, losing its charter in 1869, after <a href="/facts/January_Uprising/jLyvV2uA">January Uprising</a>.
</p><p>During the <a href="/facts/Invasion_of_Poland/8kconR1e">Invasion of Poland</a> (September 1939), retreating units of the <a href="/facts/Polish_Army/7NHPG2FY">Polish Army</a> fought here a battle with the <a href="/facts/Wehrmacht/cVGQH8JW">Wehrmacht</a>, in which app. 100 Poles died. As a result of <a href="/facts/World_War_I/vITTUanQ">World War I</a> and <a href="/facts/World_War_II/2efV5L1U">World War II</a> destruction, there are no other historic buildings in Osiek, except for the parish church.
</p><p>On 1 July 1994 Osiek regained its town rights.
