Łęczyca

Łęczyca (German: Lenczyca) is a historical no-town in Poland in the voivodeship Łódź. The place is on the Bzura and is known for its medieval architecture.

background

The place was already important when the Polish state was founded in the 10th century. At the beginning of the 11th century the Benedictine abbey was founded. When Poland was partitioned under the Seniorate Constitution in 1138, Łęczyca became the capital of a sub-principality. From 1180 the synods of the Polish church administration took place here. The town received city rights in 1267. The Gothic royal castle was built around 1350 by Casimir III. the great, when particularism had already been overcome. From the transition to the 15th century, the place was also the meeting place of the Polish Parliament - the Sejm. Trade and economy flourished into the 17th century. In 1657 the place was sacked by Swedish troops, which led to its decline. After the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, the place came successively to Prussia, 1807 to the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 to the Russian Congress of Poland. After the First World War he became Polish again.
