Krasiczyn (Polish: [kraˈɕit͡ʂɨn]) is a village in Przemyśl County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland.[1] It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Krasiczyn.
In Krasiczyn stands the Krasicki Palace, a Renaissance palace built for Stanisław Krasicki by Galleazzo Appiani.
Adam Stefan Sapieha, a cardinal whom Pope John Paul II described as 'my model', was born in Krasiczyn, in the castle.
History
[edit]As a result of the first of Partitions of Poland (Treaty of St-Petersburg dated 5 July 1772), the Galicia area was attributed to the Habsburg Monarchy.[2] When a postoffice was opened in 1869,[3] the town was in the Przemyśl Bezirkshauptmannschaft.
