Iwje
Iwje, a town in Oszmiana county, lying
at 53 degrees 56' North latitude, 25 degrees 46' East longitude [Editor's
note: the Polish says 43 degrees 26' East, but that's because it was measured
from Ferro], 39.1 miles in a southerly direction from Oszmiana and 89.3
miles from Wilno, at an altitude of 514 feet above sea level, possessing
a peasant gmina administration, a rural school, a brick Catholic parish
church called Sts. Peter and Paul, a post office for correspondence of
all kinds and communicating with Lida through the Dzikowicze post office,
about 19.6 miles away; the town numbers 2,123 inhabitants, that is, 1,054
men and 1,070 women (1869). The Iwje peasant gmina is divided among 5
rural districts, and has 42 villages, 978 houses, and 6,243 peasants.
Iwje has a class II Catholic parish in Wiszniew deanery, an affiliate
church in Dudy (compare its entry), a chapel in Satoltowicze, and 7,646
faithful.
At one time Iwje was the property of
the Kiszka family. Nicholas of Ciechanowiec of that family, voivode of
Mscislaw and starosta of Wilkoszew, founded a church here in 1631, as
well as a monastery, and he brought the Bernardine monks to it, offering
them 200 zlotys annually from his estate, as well as a "decent allowance."
This donation was made on June 10, 1633. The monks had there a library
holding 489 books of theological content, and maintained near the monastery
a clerical school of rhetoric, until the confiscation of church property
in the first quarter of this century.
From the Kiszkas ownership of Iwje passed
to the Sluzkas, namely to Catherine Janusz nee Kiszka, wife of the Lithuanian
commander. In 1662 she bequeathed it to Charles and Catherine nee Radziwill
Hlebowicz, who were survived by two daughters: Marcybela Oginska, wife
of Marcyan, the Troki voivode and Lithuanian chancellor; and Christina
Sapieha, wife of the Polotsk voivode. When Oginska died without heirs,
Iwje went to the Sapieha family, who in 1686 mortgaged it to the Tyzenhauz
family. Today Iwje belongs to the countess Elfrieda Zamoyska, who acquired
it as an inheritance from the Tyzenhauz family.

the church and built a new, wooden parish church nearby. As its endowment
he donated the Lipsk manorial farmstead, the peasant village of Streczenieta

marshal and governor of Nowogrodek, who received it by a grant from King
Kazimierz Jagiellonczyk in 1444. In 1542, the owner of Iwie was Jan Janowicz
Zabrzezinski, royal marshal. Jan's wife Tomila Zabrzezinska (of the house
of the dukes of Zaslaw and Mscislaw) bequeathed Iwie in 1558 to Mikolaj
Piotrowicz Kiszka, the cupbearer of Lithuania. In 1825 Count Rudolf Tyzenhaus
acquired Iwie from the heirs of commander Michal Oginski. Lastly Count
August Zamojski obtained Iwie by way of dowry for his daughter Elfryda.
Today it is owned by his son, Count Tomasz.
