Informacja o obiekcie:

The text describes the town of Humań, located in Volyn Governorate, which dates back to the 17th century. The settlement of Umań was founded by the Potocki family. Destroyed completely by the Turks in 1674, it was later owned by Ukrainian Cossacks, who returned it to the Potockis after the Treaty of Prussia. In the following part of the article, the area of the town is described in detail, including the parish church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose founder was Szczęsny Potocki. The history and grounds of the Zofiówka park established by Szczęsny Potocki in 1797 are also recalled (Source: 'Tygodnik Illustrowany', Warsaw 1869, Series 2, T:4, pp. 4-6, after: Digital Library of the University of Łódź).
