A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement.
Gmina Granowo is a rural gmina in Grodzisk Wielkopolski County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. Its seat is the village of Granowo, which lies approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) east of Grodzisk Wielkopolski and 33 km (21 mi) south-west of the regional capital Poznań.
Grodzisk Wielkopolski County is a unit of territorial administration and local government (powiat) in Greater Poland Voivodeship, west-central Poland. It came into being on January 1, 1999, as a result of the Polish local government reforms passed in 1998. Its administrative seat and largest town is Grodzisk Wielkopolski, which lies 42 kilometres (26 mi) south-west of the regional capital Poznań. The county also contains the towns of Rakoniewice, lying 13 km (8 mi) south-west of Grodzisk Wielkopolski, and Wielichowo, 13 km (8 mi) south of Grodzisk Wielkopolski.
An old mansion is located there, currently being renovated. The mansion was built in the early 19th century by Nepomucen Nieżychowski (1774–1781) [2] the estate's owner at the time, and it served as the seat of the Nieżychowski family. In 1898 it came into the hands of Count Rodryg Dunin (1870–1928) through his marriage to Lucia Taczanowska (1862–1917), the widow of Stanislaw Niezychowski (1851–1897). [3] [4]
Rodryg Dunin was a Polish noble (szlachta), a hrabia (Count), and an industrialist and agriculturalist. His work in agricultural industry, including pioneering new techniques, earned him recognition among the farming circles of early 20th century Greater Poland.
In 1928 the estate was returned to Taczanowska's eldest son by her first marriage, Jozef Niezychowski (1885–1960), [5] and Dunin purchased a separate estate, Ruchocice.
Ruchocice is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Rakoniewice, within Grodzisk Wielkopolski County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) north-east of Rakoniewice, 8 km (5 mi) south of Grodzisk Wielkopolski, and 48 km (30 mi) south-west of the regional capital Poznań.
