Skaryszew is a town in Radom County, Masovian Voivodeship, Poland, with 4435 inhabitants (2023). The town is located on the Kobylanka river, and belongs to the historic region of Lesser Poland. In the past it was an important urban center of northern Lesser Poland, with town charter granted to Skaryszew as early as 1264.
== History == thumb|left|upright|Monument commemorating the granting of town rights in 1264 First documented mention of Skaryszew comes from the year 1198, when the village belonged to the Abbey of Order of the Holy Sepulchre, located at Miechów. The monks opened here a branch of their abbey, and probably in the late 12th century, a wooden church of St. Jacob was built, together with a house for the monks. Due to the efforts of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, merchants and skilled artisans were attracted to the quickly growing village. Skaryszew was destroyed in the Mongol invasion of Poland, and soon afterwards, Duke of Kraków and Sandomierz Bolesław V the Chaste granted the village the so-called Środa Śląska town charter, based on the charter of Nowy Korczyn (see also Magdeburg rights). The charter was confirmed by King Casimir III the Great in 1354.
