Świątkowice (pronounced as /pl/) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lututów, within Wieruszów County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 8km (05miles) south-east of Lututów, 240NaN0 east of Wieruszów, and 860NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Łódź.
The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century. The village was mentioned in a document in 1357. In 1406, the local church became a filial church of the parish in Lututów.
In 1827, Świątkowice had a population of 309.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940–1941, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were either deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland or enslaved as forced labour in the region or in Germany.[3] Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[4]
