Józef Piłsudski took up quarters in the manor of Alfred Fauck (after the war the manor belonged to the Morawski Family) on the night of December 5, 1914. The future Marshal arrived there, after he overtook the remaining Austro-Hungarian forces by several kilometres, while chasing the Russians retreating from Limanowa, as the commander of several battalions of the First Brigade of the Polish Legions. At present, the building houses a school and a small “Legionaries in Marcinkowice” Historical Museum.
