Sycyna Północna


Sycyna Północna is a village in Poland's present-day Mazowsze Province. In 1975–98, it was part of Radom Province. It lies approximately south-east of Zwoleń and south-east of Warsaw.
The first recorded mention of Sycyna comes from 1191. Its first known owner was Mikołaj de Szycina. In 1470 the village was described by the chronicler, Jan Długosz. From 1525 Sycyna belonged to the Kochanowski family, having been purchased by the szlachcic Piotr Kochanowski. Five years later, in 1530, at Sycyna the poet Jan Kochanowski was born. Sycyna was divided into Sycyna Północna and Sycyna Południowa in the 21st century.
