==History== thumb|left|Saint Anne church in 1914 It was granted town rights in 1522. The town was annexed by Austria in the Third Partition of Poland in 1795. After the Polish victory in the Austro-Polish War of 1809, it became part of the short-lived Duchy of Warsaw, and after the duchy's dissolution in 1815, it fell to the Russian Partition of Poland. In 1869, the Tsarist authorities revoked the town rights as punishment for the unsuccessful Polish January Uprising. Following World War I, Poland regained independence and control of Wohyń.
