Przasnysz (Latin name Azymopolis) is a town in the Masovian Voivodeship, in the Przasnyski County. It is the capital of the County. It is situated on the W\u0119gierka River in northern Mazovia. In the period 1975-1998, the city belonged to the Ostro\u0142\u0119ka Province. In 2013, the city had a population of approximately 17,600. Przasnysz has an area of 25.16 km\u00b2.<\/p>\n The National Road No. 57 runs through Przasnysz, connecting Bartoszyce with Kleszew. Provincial Roads No. 544 and No. 617 also run here. The city of Przasnysz is well connected with Warsaw, Olsztyn, Ostro\u0142\u0119ka, Dzia\u0142dowo, Ciechan\u00f3w, Mak\u00f3w Mazowiecki and M\u0142awa.<\/p>\n Przasnysz never had a standard gauge railway. The nearest railway station is in Ciechan\u00f3w (distance 25 km). The town of Przasnysz was crossed by a narrow-gauge railway belonging to the commuter railway and owned by the M\u0142awa Commuter Railway. It was built at a rapid pace of just a few weeks in 1915. The railway line ran from M\u0142awa through Grudusk – Przasnysz – Krasne to Mak\u00f3w Mazowiecki and was 74 km long. Until 1985, the line carried passengers. Physically, the narrow-gauge railway M\u0142awa – Mak\u00f3w Mazowiecki exists (2018), but unused, it is systematically degraded. From time to time, ideas for reactivating passenger and freight traffic, and even the construction of a standard-gauge railway to Przasnysz from Ciechan\u00f3w come up.<\/p>\n The patron of the City of Przasnysz since September 18, 2014 is St. Stanis\u0142aw Kostka, who was baptized in the local parish church.<\/p>\n To the east of the city is the Airport of the Northern Mazovia Aero Club, a former military airport.<\/p>\n Written by Karol Placha Hetman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Przasnysz (Latin name Azymopolis) is a town in the Masovian Voivodeship, in the Przasnyski County.
