Nieznajowa (Lemko Незнайова) - a Lemko village in Poland located in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in the Gorlice poviat, in the Sękowa commune, on the Zawoja stream, a tributary of the Wisłoka river. The village was founded in 1546 under the Wallachian law. In 1581 Nieznajowa consisted of 2 farms, in 1785 it was inhabited by 296 Greek Catholics and 7 Jews, in 1886 - 332 inhabitants, and in 1936 - 250. In 1780, a Greek Catholic church dedicated to Cosmas and Damian. It was used until 1930, when a second church was built - the Orthodox one. The village was known in the area for the biweekly markets (mainly cattle trade) and fairs (4 times a year: for Ascension, August 13, September 10 and October 30). In 1928, the Greek Catholic inhabitants converted to Orthodoxy. [Footnote needed] In the 1930s, two large mills operated here. In 1938, there were 60 houses, 2 Orthodox churches, a chapel, a post office, a forester's lodge, and a steam sawmill in the village [2]. After World War II, most of the inhabitants (Lemkos) were displaced [footnote needed] to the USSR, the rest moved to nearby Czarny. Only a few traces of buildings and stone roadside Lemko crosses [3], as well as a dozen or so cemetery tombstones remain. However, the wooden church of St. Kosma and Damian, one of the prettiest in the area. It collapsed in 1964. Some of its elements are in the church-museum in Bartne. The Orthodox Church was demolished before 1956.
