Green Velo

The town is located north of Sanok on the banks of the San, though despite its rural character, it has a small-town feel and an interesting story. Mrzygłód received town privileges in 1425. Initially, it belonged to the Pileckis and was a centre of trade along the course of the San.

As a result of destructions in the 17th century, the town fell into decline, and trade ceased to grow. After World War I, Mrzygłód lost its town privileges. Until the mid-20th century, it was known in the area as a pottery centre. Today, you can see the layout of the small town, for the most part with wooden houses. On the market square, there are wooden houses with a timber log frame structure from the turn of the century. There is also a town hall from the 19th century and the statue of King Władysław Jagiełło, erected in 1910 to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald; the present one dates from 2010. According to tradition, in the 15th century, King Jagiełło founded here the first gothic church, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was rebuild multiple times.
