Lipsko, Municipality in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland
Lipsko is a town in Masovian Voivodeship that sits on two hills separated by the Krępianka river. It serves as the administrative center of Lipsko County and anchors the eastern region.
Lipsko was first documented in 1589, and it gained town rights in 1613 through efforts of the local nobility. After a period of decline, it regained its town status in 1958.
The Holy Trinity Church, constructed in 1614 with funding from Lord Mikołaj Oleśnicki, stands as the primary religious monument in the town.
The town is easily reached through local road networks and provides basic services for visitors and residents. Records of births, marriages, and deaths have been kept since 1874 and can be consulted for genealogical research.
Lipsko lost its town status in 1868 after residents participated in the January Uprising, a rare punishment for political involvement. Regaining this classification only 90 years later made this period of restriction a defining experience for local identity.
