Bieżuń [ˈbʲɛʐuɲ] is a town in Żuromin County, Masovian Voivodeship, Poland. The town lies on the Wkra River. As of December 2021, it has a population of 1,807. Jędrzej of Golczew, castellan of Płock, established the town at the end of the 14th century. Duke Siemowit IV of Masovia granted the city rights charter in 1406 and in 1869, during Russia's occupation, the town lost its city rights until 1994. Bieżuń was a private town, administratively located in the Płock Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown. Prior to the Deluge the town was famous and had a strong castle, but it was destroyed during that war. Polish Crown Chancellor Andrzej Zamoyski was born there and lived in the palace he built while working on his code of civil laws known as Zbiór praw sądowych. During Zamojski's residency there, in 1767, Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth king Stanisław August Poniatowski granted the renewal of the town charter under the Magdeburg rights. More information...
