Skępe
Skępe is a town in Lipno County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland, with 7790 inhabitants. It is the main sanctuary of Dobrzyń Land, with image of Our Lady crowned officially in 1755.
Skępe developed from a medieval Slavic stronghold. It was granted town rights in 1445 by King Casimir IV of Poland. In 1498 the Bernardines came to Skępe from Koło and a monastery was built, with the Church of the Annunciation. The coat of arms of Skępe cointains the Ogończyk coat of arms of the Kościelecki noble family, which was essential in the town's development in the 15th century.
