History

Parzymiechy was first mentioned in 1266. It was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Wieluń County in the Sieradz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]

In September 1939, during the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, a battle was fought nearby. German troops burned the village on September 2, 1939, and murdered 75 Polish inhabitants, including 20 children (the Zimnowoda and Parzymiechy massacre [pl], see also Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[3]

Transport

Main road connections from the Parzymiechy include connection with Praszka (to the west) and Działoszyn (to the north-east) via the National Road DK 42.
