Żabianka (Polish:) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Ułęż, within Ryki County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland. It lies approximately 3km (02miles) south-west of Ułęż, 130NaN0 south-east of Ryki, and 510NaN0 north-west of the regional capital Lublin.[2] In 2011 it had a population of 122.
The village was first known as Wola Żabia before being renamed to Żabianka. Historically, it was located within Stężyca Land, Sandomierz Voivodeship. The first mention of the village in historical record is in a tax inventory from 1569, where a man called 'Lyeczki', possibly named after the nearby village of Lendo, paid tax on one łan. In 1827 it had 12 houses and 109 inhabitants. By the end of the 19th century it had a poorhouse, 12 houses, and its population was 83.[3]
Until the latter half of the 16th century the village belonged to the Drążgów parish. In 1570 Łukasz Lendzki, a local noble, erected a church there which, after a period of it being a filial church, was made the seat of the parish in 1575. This was because the old seat was converted into an Arian congregation.[4] The current wooden church was built in 1754 by Feliks Bentkowski, the Stężyca Land Starosta.[5] The church underwent renovations in 1882, 1975–1976, and 2014; during the restoration works in 2014, a burial crypt was discovered under its floor.[6]
