Skierbieszów, Administrative village in Zamość County, eastern Poland.
Skierbieszów is an administrative village in the Lublin region, located roughly 17 kilometers northeast of Zamość. The settlement consists of scattered buildings, farmland, and residential areas arranged around the central church that anchors the community.
The settlement received town privileges in 1453 from a Polish king, a status it kept for nearly 370 years until 1822 when it was reclassified as a village. This change marked a shift in the place's administrative standing.
The Church of the Assumption sits at the heart of the village and reflects the religious traditions rooted in the Lublin region. It remains a focal point where locals gather and the community marks important moments throughout the year.
The village is best reached by car and offers limited facilities typical of rural settlements. Visitors should expect basic services and plan to explore the surrounding countryside rather than expect developed tourist infrastructure.
During World War II the village was temporarily renamed Heidenstein and held an unexpected place in occupation history. A notable European political figure was born here during that period, creating an unusual historical link.
