==History== Guźnia dates back to the 14th century, and was first mentioned in 1367. Its name is derived from the Old Polish word gozd ("forest"). Guźnia was a private church village within the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Rawa Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown, owned by the Archdiocese of Gniezno. In the second half of the 16th century, the village was located in the administrative unit Sochaczew Land of the local government Rawa Voivodeship in the historical Kingdom of Poland. It belonged to the Chruślin estate of the Archbishops of Gniezn.
