Kuty
History
Kuty was founded by Polish people in 1552.[2] The local landmark Gothic Saint Maximilian Kolbe church was built in the late 16th century. In 1710, the village was hit by an epidemic, commemorated by a painting in the church by order of the local pastor Paweł Drygalski.[2] Under Nazi Germany, a labour camp of the Reich Labour Service was operated in the village.[3] After Germany's defeat in World War II, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland.
