History
[edit]Historically, Wola Gułowska belongs to the Stężyca Land in the Sandomierz Voivodeship. The oldest reference to Wola Gułowska is from 1508 when it was mentioned in a record next to Gułów. Records show that in 1509, along with Adamów, it belonged to the Wojcieszków parish. In 1545 Hieronim Rusiecki, the Sandomierz Standard-bearer, built a wooden chapel and paid for the upkeep of a priest in the village. In 1633 Ludwik Krasiński, heir to the local property, decided to found a Carmelite monastery and build a new church next to the old wooden chapel. The construction was completed and the church was consecrated in 1782. On 11 April 1869 the church was made the seat of a new parish.[3]
From 3 to 5 October 1939, Wola Gułowska was the site of one of the smaller battles fought during the Battle of Kock. Polish soldiers fought against German troops near the village's cemetery and a local airfield. After the war a shrine and a museum dedicated to the battle were erected in the village. Between the years 1975 and 1998 the area administratively belonged to the Siedlce Voivodeship.
