Toky castle
History
There are ruins that date back to the time of Kievan Rus but the first written record of the village is not until 30 March 1430.[1] The castle was built in the late 16th century by Janusz Zbaraski (1553-1608), voivode of Bracław and according to legend Jeremi Wiśniowiecki, "Hammer of the Cossacks" spent his childhood there.[1]
The river made a natural border between the Habsburg empire and Poland, the village began the 20th century under Habsburg control but then became part of Poland.[1] There was a Polish Catholic Church but it was demolished in Soviet times.[1] The sizeable Jewish population was lost in the Holocaust.[1]
Notable people
- Władysław Rubin (1917-1990), Roman Catholic cardinal was born and spent his childhood in the village[1]
