[edit] History
Wola Gułowska is located on the rzeką Czarną (Black River), a small tributary of the Tyśmienica. It is located on the edge of the Plateau Żelechowskiej near the Łukowski plains. The terrain points to the rzeźbie terenu (Black Valley) and towering above the village the church of the Carmelite monastery dominates.
The oldest references to Wola Gułowska is from the years 1508 and 1545. In 1633, Ludwik Krasiński, heir to the local property, decided to found the Carmelite Monastery and build a new church in place of the old wooden chapel. The construction of the church was completed and consecrated in 1782. The church is famous for its miraculous image of the Virgin Mary, recognised in 1982 by the Archbishop Józef Glemp, and a copy of the image of Madonna.[2]
Over 3 to 5 October 1939 Polish soldiers fought of Nazi invaders in the Wola district Gułowskiej, culminating in the Battle of Kock nearby the village. A shrine and Museum was erected in the village after the war to remember the fighting.
Between the years 1975 and 1998 the area administratively belonged to the province of Siedlce.
