Węgrów, Administrative center in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland.

The town of Węgrów spans across eastern Poland, situated 73 kilometers from Warsaw, with the Basilica of the Assumption marking its central point.

Węgrów received its city charter in 1441 and developed into a significant center for Reformation movements between the 16th and 18th centuries.

The Renaissance mirror housed in the Basilica connects to local folklore through the tale of Sir Twardowski, a Polish nobleman who made a deal with the devil.

Visitors reach Węgrów through regular bus connections from Warsaw, with the journey taking approximately two hours through the eastern Polish countryside.

The town witnessed four major battles during the November Uprising of 1830-1831, making it a key location in Polish military history.
