[N8917] Slupy, Szubin, Poland
*********************
In documents Slup, an estate with a parish church in Szubin county, Kcynia deanery, 7 km. southwest of Szubin, on the Gasawka, a tributary of the Notec; it borders Dabrwka, Krlikowo, Szubska Wies, Kowalewo, and Wasosz. Slupy has its own parish and post office, the railway station is12 km. away in Kcynia.
It has 14 houses, 271 Catholic residents and 1 Protestant, 789 hectares of land (311 of fields, 293 of meadows, 20 of forest), a brick-making plant, a mill, a distillery, a cheese factory, and cultivation of Dutch cattle. The owner is Konstanty Zoltowski. In 1233 Drogomir, son of Piotr, signed his name as z Slupow [from Slupy], as did Mikolaj in 1399; in 1577 there were 2 fields owned and cultivated and 7 crofts, the number of which increased in two years to 13.
The Polewskis owned this estate toward the end of the last century, then later the Sadowskis. Near Slupy a bronze urn and stone ax were dug up.
The church, under the patronage of St. Wit, Modest, and Krescencya, existed before 1399; at that time Wojciech, Kamien castellan, and Mikolaj z Slupow donated the village of Gabin (Gombin), a mile from Slupy, to the church, and it is the property of the presbytery. Pastor Jan Prabucki erected a new, wooden church in place of the old one in 1730, and by 1840 a brick one stood on the spot. The parish, numbering 1,857 souls, consists of: Antoniewo, Babiagac, Chraplewo, Ciezkowo, Dabrwka, Katynka, Kowalewo, Kralikowo, Piardowo, Slupy, Smarzykowo, Smolarnia, Wasosz, and Wrzosy. There are parochial schools in Krlikowo and Wasosz. Laski writes of the presbytery's endowment in Liber Benificiorum, I, 144.
