Doruchow, Ostrzeszow, Wlkp., Poland; is 10 miles NE of Kepno
The Doruchuw Witch Trials, which took place in the village of Doruchuw, Poland, was to be the last mass trial of sorcery and witch craft in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It may have taken place in 1775 and resulted in the deaths of 14 women and specifically led to the ban on torture and witch burning in Poland, or, according to other sources, it may have occurred in 1783, with 6 victims. A local judge in the city of Poznan used transition from Polish to Prussian authority that year as a justification for ignoring the Polish laws banning trial and executions of witches, and accepted an accusation about two women with inflamed eyes, who were said to have enchanted their neighbours cattle. They were judged guilty of witchcraft and burned. Even later, in 1836, Kristina Canola (Krystyna Ceynowa) was accused of sorcery in Calipee (Chalupy), Poland, subjected to the ordeal of water as part of an illegal trial, and drowned. She was probably among the last people in Europe to be subjected to lynching on the grounds of sorcery and witchcraft.
