Gosławice – Gmina Zakrzewo – Slownik Geograficzny Translations
Hello,
Below is my translation of the Slownik Geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego entry for Gosławice. Any errors are completely my own.
Location information:
Current administrative location: Gosławice, Gmina Zakrzewo, Powiat Aleksandrów, Województwo Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Poland.
Administrative location in 1895 (Słownik Geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego): Gosławice, Powiat Nieszawa, Gubernia Warszawske, Vistula Land, Russian Empire.
4.) It is a village located in powiat Nieszawa and gmina Sędzin. The village belongs to the parish of Siniarzewo and is currently owned by Józef Trzebiński. The overall open land area is 780 morgs, the amount of cultivated land is 535 morgs, 152 morgs of meadows, and 54 morgs of the Brzozowa forest. The land was graded for wheat and had arable loose soil. The crop rotation was distributed among eleven fields. The village is located at a distance of 14 verst from Nieszawa and the border of Aleksandrow.
Apart from grain and wool production, Gosławice has several hundred well-defined breeds of sheep. In terms of topographic location, Gosławice is uniformly flat: among this plane, along the road from the village, runs dozens of cottages. Next after the pond, is an elevated beautiful and storied brick palace, which replaced the larch wooden manor house within the last decade. Today, this building has been converted into a folwark. There were 26 tenant farmers that received a grant for 26 morgs and 110 rods (a measurement). So far, the question of servants is still outstanding. There is a state of relatively wealthy peasants. The owner of the inn in Gosławice was abolished. In 1827, Gosławice had 16 homes with 135 inhabitants.
