Końskowola, Historical village in Lublin Voivodeship, Poland.
Końskowola is a village in Lublin Voivodeship situated between the towns of Puławy and Lublin. It spreads along the Kurówka River with traditional Polish architecture and is surrounded by agricultural landscapes.
The village received city rights in 1532 and became a textile manufacturing center throughout the 1800s. This growth attracted workers from multiple regions including Saxony who settled in the area.
Two religious buildings shape how the village looks and feels: a Baroque church from 1670 and a Renaissance church from an earlier period. These structures show the central role faith has always played in daily community life here.
The village maintains accessible genealogical records including birth, marriage, and death documents for family history research. These archives are available through resources like JRI-Poland for those tracing their roots.
The name comes from Jan z Konina, an early owner, combined with Wola meaning freedom in Polish. The settlement was originally called Witowska Wola before adopting its current name.
