== Stǣr ==
The village was founded probably in the [[XIV century]], under the name Witowska Wola. Its name was later changed to Konińskawola, its present form, in the [[XIX century]].

On [[June 8]], [[1532]], the town was incorporated. As a private town, Końskowola served as a centre of the foodstuffs trade for the surrounding area. Several [[textile]] production factories were also located there. Many people immigrated there from other parts of Poland and elsewhere as well; among others were many immigrants from [[Saxony]].

Since then, it has shared the history of the entire region. After the third [[Partitions of Poland|partition of Poland]], in [[1795]], it was annexed by [[Austria]]. In [[1809]] it became part of the [[Duchy of Warsaw]], only to become part of the [[Congress Poland|Kingdom of Poland]] in [[1815]]. After the [[January Uprising]], in [[1870]] the town finally lost the city charter, never to regain it. During the [[Russian Revolution of 1905]], many demonstrations and strikes of solidarity were organized there. Since [[1918]], the town is again part of Poland.

With the onset of the [[Second World War]], on [[September 15]], [[1939]], Końskowola was taken by German troops and occupied. During the course of WWII, the Germans set up a [[prisoner of war|POW]] camp and [[German concentration camps|camps]] for [[slave labour]] in the town. The POW camp was soon liquidated, but a labour camp continued in operation through [[1943]]. The inmates worked for Germans on farms, and on construction sites of roads and railroads.

A [[ghetto]] was established in the town, to which many groups of [[Jews]] were relocated, including Jews from [[Slovakia]]. On [[May 8]], [[1942]], the [[Nazis]] conducted an ''Aktion'' in which many Jews were rounded up and transported to the [[Sobibór extermination camp|Nazi extermination camp Sobibor]]. In October [[1942]], the ghetto' population was liquidated. In a massacre carried out by German troops: the Reserve Police Battalion 101, some 800-1000 Jews, among them women and children, were taken to a nearby forest and slaughtered. The ghetto's remaining inhabitants were transferred to another camp.

With the approach of [[Red Army]] forces in the summer of [[1944]], the Germans had plans to burn the town. On [[July 25]], [[1944]], the German occupation forces were engaged in battle by fighters of the Polish underground [[Armia Krajowa]], joined by Polish partisans of the [[Bataliony Chłopskie]]. With the arrival of [[Soviet Red Army]] troops, the combined antifascist combatants succeeded in securing the area's liberation.

== Tourism ==
Among the notable tourist attractions is a Catholic church (restored c. [[1670]] in a project by [[Tylman van Gameren]]) with the graves of the Opaliński and Lubomirski families. There is also another old Catholic church, built in [[1613]] in the "Lublin Renaissance" architectural style, whose finest exemplars are this church in Konskowola and one in [[Kazimierz Dolny]]. There are also the remains of a [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] cemetery.

Końskowola is also known as the place of death of the Polish poets: [[Franciszek Dionizy Kniaźnin]] and [[Franciszek Zabłocki]].

== Trivia ==
[[Henryk Sienkiewicz]], a famous Polish author, [[Nobel Prize in Literature|Nobel prize winner]], noted for his historical novel ''[[With Fire and Sword]]'' including a mention of: <BR>
- "(...) Very poor beer also in this Końskowola, Mr. Zagłoba noticed (...)"
