Stężyca, Administrative village in Lublin Voivodeship, Poland

Stężyca stands between agricultural fields along the eastern region of Poland, with a Gothic church dedicated to Saint Martin at its center.

The settlement received Magdeburg rights from King Casimir the Great in 1330, establishing itself as a notable administrative center in the Sandomierz Voivodeship.

The Gothic church of Saint Martin, constructed in 1434, remains a central religious and architectural element of the village's heritage.

The village serves as the administrative seat of Gmina Stężyca, positioned 28 kilometers west of Ryki and 81 kilometers northwest of Lublin.

In May 1575, Stężyca hosted the national Sejm assembly following the unexpected departure of King Henry of Poland and France.
