english version
Okocim used to be called Okocin, and is one of the oldest villages near Brzesko. Traces of linear pottery culture and evidence of Roman influences have been found there. The first mention of Okocim may be found in a document from King Casimir the Great dated 12 May 1344. The development of Okocim was strongly influenced by the brewer Jan Goetz, who arrived there in 1845. In that year, the three shareholders Julian Kodrębski, Józef Neumann and Jan Goetz started construction of the brewery, whose sole owner became Jan Ewangelista Goetz in 1851. The oldest monument in Górny Okocim is the parish church of the Holy Trinity that was founded by Jan Ewangelista Goetz. It was built in the years 1884-1885 based on designs by the Viennese architect Max Schweda. The church basement includes the Goetz family crypt.
