Jawiszowice, Village in Oświęcim County, Lesser Poland
Jawiszowice extends along the banks of the Vistula River in southern Poland, surrounded by coal mining areas and agricultural fields.
The village records date back to 1326 when it appeared in the Peter's Pence payment register of the Diocese of Kraków as Jan[w]issowicz.
The wooden Saint Martin church, constructed in 1692, stands as the central religious structure of the village, displaying traditional Polish carpentry techniques.
The village maintains direct bus connections to Oświęcim, located 12 kilometers away, with regular services throughout the day.
During World War II, the village contained a sub-camp of Auschwitz called Jawischowitz, which housed prisoners working in local coal mines.
