Łan

Encyclopedia : A : AN : AN : Łan

Łan ( Lan ; pronunciation one) in polish means "field," a unit of land measurement used in Poland since the 13th century, the value of which varied form area to area. A Franconian Łan consisted of 43.2 morgs = 23 to 28 hectares. The term Łan was also used to indicate a full-sized farm, as opposed to one split up into a number of smaller sections. In medieval times it was from 3 to 50 hectares, but in Great Lesser Poland (with Podkarpacie) since 13th to 1857 the Franconian Łan was used : 23-28 hectares, 1 morg (Joch) = 0,5755he.
