Grzybowa Góra [ɡʐɨˈbɔva ˈɡura] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Skarżysko Kościelne, within Skarżysko County, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, in south-central Poland. It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) east of Skarżysko Kościelne, 5 km (3 mi) north-east of Skarżysko-Kamienna, and 38 km (24 mi) northeast of the regional capital Kielce.[1] The name literally translates as: "Mushroom Mountain".
History
Grzybowa Góra was the location of a Paleolithic industrial settlement, which is now an archaeological site, part of the Rydno Archaeological Reserve, consisting of several hundred former Paleolithic sites stretching from Skarżysko-Kamienna to Wąchock.[2] The site was discovered in the 1920s.[2]
Grzybowa Góra was a private church village of the Wąchock Abbey,[3] administratively located in the Radom County in the Sandomierz Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Polish Crown.[4]
In the Third Partition of Poland, in 1795, the village was annexed by Austria. Following the Austro-Polish War of 1809, the village was regained by Poles and included within the short-lived Duchy of Warsaw. After the duchy's dissolution, in 1815, the village fell to the Russian Partition of Poland. In 1827, it had a population of 204, which grew to 293 until the late 19th century.[3] On April 19, 1863, Grzybowa Góra was the site of a battle of the Polish January Uprising.[5] A Polish insurgent unit led by Ludwik Michalski defeated a three times larger Russian unit, and the surviving Russian soldiers retreated in panic to Radom.[5] Following World War I, in 1918, Poland regained independence and control of the village.
