Odechów, Masovian Voivodeship

Odechów [ɔˈdɛxuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Skaryszew, within Radom County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.

It was first mentioned in documents from 1228, and received Magdeburg rights as Nowy Targ (later Miasteczko Odechowskie) in 1578.

Odechów remained a very small town, located too close to the ancient urban center of Skaryszew.

Odechów is famous for its ancient church, which was first built as a wooden complex by Mikolaj Traba between 1404 and 1411.

Between 1459 and 1460, Jan Długosz built a new, brick church, which was greatly expanded between 1911 and 1913, following a design of Zygmunt Slominski, an architect from Radom.
