History
[edit]_(cropped).jpg)
Uchanie was a royal village, half of which was granted in 1470 by King Casimir IV Jagiellon in Radom to Paweł Jasieński, castellan of Sandomierz, starost of Bełz and Chełm.[2] Paweł Jasieński built a church in 1482–1484.[2] The castle was possibly also built by Paweł Jasieński.[2] In 1484, by an act granted in Piotrków, Casimir IV granted Magdeburg town rights and established weekly markets and annual fairs.[2] In 1504 King Alexander Jagiellon confirmed these privileges in Kraków.[2] 1549, the castle withstood a Tatar raid, but the church and monastery were looted.[2] In 1596, King Sigismund III Vasa established an additional annual fair and moved the weekly markets from Wednesdays to Mondays.[2] In 1603, he established a third annual fair and authorized the construction of a town hall and inns.[2] Uchanie was a private town of the Jasieński, Uchański, Daniłowicz and Potocki families.[2]
According to the data of the ethnographic expedition of 1869-1870 under the leadership of Pavlo Chubynskyi, Greek Catholics who spoke Ukrainian lived in this village[3] In 1874, Szydłowski built a new palace near the old castle remains.[2]

Between the years of 1928-1932, the Polish government ordered the destruction of the local Orthodox church as part of a large-scale campaign to destroy Ukrainian churches in the Chełm region and Podlasie.[4]
Upon the German invasion of Poland at the start of World War II in 1939, Uchanie had a population of 1,161 Jews. The Jewish population was sent to nearby Hrubieszów, from where they were sent to the Sobibór extermination camp. The Jewish community then ceased to exist.[5]
