INDEX

[N3809] Panigrodz
Panigro dz, in 16th-century documents Panigrocz, a village in Wagrowiec county, 7 km. southwest of Kcynia and the same distance northeast of Golancz; there is a parish in the village, the post office is in Kcynia, the railway station is 18 km. away in Osiek; there are 45 houses, 563 residents (546 Catholic and 17 Protestant). The major estate (of Maks Bertram) covers 180 hectares, with net income from the land of 2,148 marks; the presbytery covers 154 hectares, with a land income of 168 marks. Whether Zbilut, the Kujavian voivode (circa 1018) came from Panigro dz has not been sufficiently proved. In 1153 another Zbilut, founding a monastery in Lekno, endowed it with the village of Panigrodz. His descendants signed their names as "z Panigrodza" (see Paprocki's Armorial). In 1233 Wladyslaw Odonicz conferred German law on the village; in 1248 Boguchwal and his brothers claimed rights to Panigro dz. In 1283 Przemyslaw II conferred the right to free fairs and renewed permission for its settling on the basis of German law. Panigrodz was the property of the Lekno (Wagrowiec) monks up to recent times. In Great Poland legal documents various confirmations of this ownership can be found. The local church, under the patronage of St. John the Baptist, was a parish church before 1523. A new church was erected on the site of the old one in 1765 by Wojciech Kraszewski, the village landlord, but it burned down in 1808; the present church, made of fired brick, was standing by 1830. Panigro dz parish, in Lekno deanery [Ed. Note-it was in Lekno deanery when this was written, but now it's in Kcynia deanery], consists of: Chawlodno, Kernerowo (Koernershe), Legniszewo, Panigro dz, Rozpetek, Stolezyn, Szubianki and Wilkonice. In 1873 the parish included 1,260 souls. Near Panigrodz are the so-called "Swedish trenches"; an iron arrow was found here, 45 cm. long, 6.5 cm. long in the middle, somewhat bent at the tip. In ancient times various urns with bronze objects were supposedly dug up.
