Uchanie is a village in Hrubieszów County, Lublin Voivodeship, in southeastern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Uchanie.
==History== thumb|left|Church of the Assumption, before 1900 Uchanie was a royal village, half of which was granted in 1470 by King Casimir IV Jagiellon in Radom to Paweł Jasieński, castellan of Sandomierz, starost of Bełz and Chełm. Paweł Jasieński built a church in 1482–1484. The castle was possibly also built by Paweł Jasieński. In 1484, by an act granted in Piotrków, Casimir IV granted Magdeburg town rights and established weekly markets and annual fairs. In 1504 King Alexander Jagiellon confirmed these privileges in Kraków. 1549, the castle withstood a Tatar raid, but the church and monastery were looted. In 1596, King Sigismund III Vasa established an additional annual fair and moved the weekly markets from Wednesdays to Mondays. In 1603, he established a third annual fair and authorized the construction of a town hall and inns. Uchanie was a private town of the Jasieński, Uchański, Daniłowicz and Potocki families.
