New Włochy

New Włochy (Polish: Nowe Włochy [ˈnɔ.vɛ ˈvwɔ.xɘ̟]) is a neighbourhood, and a City Information System area, in Warsaw, Poland, within the northwestern part of the Włochy district. It forms the northern half of the neighbourhood of Włochy. It is a residential area, predominantly consisting of single-family low-rise houses, with a smaller presence of apartment buildings. The neighbourhood also has two railway stations: Warszawa Ursus Północny and Warszawa Włochy. It also features the Koelichen Palace, a neoclassical residence, dating to 1859, the Church of Saints Teresa of the Child Jesus and the Roman Martyrs, completed in 1962, and three major parks: Combatants Park, Goat Pond Park, and Space Gardens.

Villages of Sopęchy and Stojarty were first recorded in the area of modern Włochy in 1395 and 1493, respectively. They were founded by the Rakowski family of the clan of Radwan, descending from count Gotard of Służew. In the 15th century, the villages of Porzucewo and Solipse, were separated from Sopęchy. In 1452, a portion of Porzucewo was sold to Jan Włoch, and the village was eventually renamed after him to Włochy in the following century. Sopęchy was burned down by the Swedish army in 1656, during the Second Northern War, while Stojarty was recorded for the last time in the 17th century. In 1795, the estate of Włochy was acquired by count Tadeusz Antoni Mostowski, who developed there his residence, together with an English landscape garden, which now forms the Combatants Park. In 1859, in its place was constructed the neoclassical residence, known as the Koelichen Palace. In the second half of the 19th century, the manufacturing industry developed in Włochy. In 1926, the estate was partitioned and sold off for the development of a residential neighbourhood with villa houses. In 1959, the Warszawa Włochy railway station was opened In 1930, Włochy became the seat of a new municipality, named after it, which also included Solipse and Wiktoryn. In 1939, all three settlements were merged to form the town of Włochy. In 1951, it was incorporated into the city of Warsaw.
