Liw, Medieval village in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland
Liw is a village along the Liwiec River, situated west of Węgrów in Masovian Voivodeship. The settlement is marked by medieval castle ruins built by regional princes that shape its character today.
The village received town rights in 1421 and became the administrative center of an eastern Masovian district. This status made it an important place for judicial and local governance in the region.
The castle remains shape how people see the village and remember its past as a regional center. These ruins show visitors how important this place once was for local rulers.
The village sits in a rural area and is best explored on quiet roads at a leisurely pace. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since paths through the settlement can be unpaved.
In April 1831, a significant military clash took place here between Polish insurgents and Russian troops. The Liwiec River played a strategic role in how this battle unfolded.
