Nearby places

Soltys, Czerszla and Niżny Margoń are located in the immediate vicinity of Nowa Wieś. Pasieczka is situated in the surrounding area of the village. The three nearby place references and Pasieczka therefore do not belong to the same spatial level.

Likewise, the surrounding area provides no information about travel time or shared infrastructure. Pasieczka is not spatially on the same level as Soltys, Czerszla and Niżny Margoń.

Historical references to Nowa Wieś

A wooden church was built in Nowa Wieś in 1654. In 1774, it was moved to Vened, in Zakarpattia. The process thus encompasses the construction in Nowa Wieś and the later relocation to Zakarpattia. The two years mark two historical stages of the same church reference. Its historical status remains unchanged: the information concerns an earlier building and its relocation, not the location of a building currently standing in Nowa Wieś. For those interested in culture, this specific relocation connects the history of the village with another place outside Lesser Poland.

Historical context of the municipality of Łabowa

Polish, Lemko and Jewish communities lived in the historical surroundings of the Łabowa area. Monuments have been preserved from this multicultural past.

This cultural context is historical and concerns the area’s past, not its current population structure or a present-day cultural institution. The historical diversity belongs to the Łabowa area, while the church building concerns a single place and a specific sequence of years.
