The larger towns of Plonsk and Zakroczym are located some 15 km away, and within the same short distance lies a developing airport in Modlin.
HISTORY
It is most likely that the name ‘Zaluski’ is derived from the name of the family that owned the settlement in its infancy. The Zaluski family stemmed from the Rawit dynasty of Czech origin. ‘Zalusk’ in Czech means ‘willingness’, ‘desire for something’, or ‘fancy’. This explains why the name of the village sounds somewhat exotic in the contemporary Polish language. |
