Krępice: Village History and Preserved Townscape

• First mentioned: 1289, in records by Duke Henry IV concerning the manor in Leśnica.
• Townscape: two larger, three-story buildings preserved in the center.
• Getting around: about 1 km along a poplar avenue to National Road 94.

Krępice was first mentioned in 1289 in records by Duke Henry IV concerning the manor in Leśnica. In 1547, the Wrocław administration granted town clerk Stefan Heugel permission to establish an estate in Krępice. The two dates refer to different events: a written mention and a later authorization to establish an estate.

Two larger, three-story buildings have also been preserved in the town center; before the war, they housed an inn and a trading house. Their former uses add concrete architectural features of the town to the historical dates.

Krępice has a branch church dedicated to Our Lady of Częstochowa; it belongs to the Mrozów parish. There is also a cemetery chapel. The cemetery lies north of the village, near the road leading out toward Mrozów, and covers 0.8 hectares. Today it is Catholic; formerly it was Protestant.

The church and cemetery offer different points of reference: the church is identified by its parish, while the cemetery is characterized by its location and the change in its religious status.

Krępice lies about 1 km from National Road 94, which runs between Wrocław and Zielona Góra, along a poplar avenue. Road 2058 connects Miękinia and Mrozów via Krępice to National Road 94. Road 104877 D connects Krępice with Kokorzyce; it is 1.2 km long.

For map comparisons, note that the measurements refer to different things: about 1 km describes the distance to the national road along a poplar avenue, while 1.2 km is the length of Road 104877 D. The road numbers and endpoints mentioned help distinguish the two connections.

In 1786, a distillery, a wine press, and an inn were operating in Krępice. These establishments offer a specific glimpse into the food, drink, and economic history of the time. For travelers interested in this subject, the combination of a distillery and wine press offers a different perspective from the preserved buildings and their former uses.
