Jozef Niwicki (1812-1871) - poet, owner of a landed estate in Kierlikowka in the commune of Trzciana in Malopolska province. He was not particularly interested in running a farm, he outsourced this task to a hired steward, while he himself was mainly concerned with history and literature and wrote poems. He died without an heir. The poems he wrote came out in print in 1873, after his death, in a volume titled Listki Karpackie, dedicated to Franciszek Hoszard, a member of the Galician Sejm. In the poem "Monastery Extinct," he refers to the history of the monastery of the Canons Regular of Penance in the neighboring village of Trzciana, the tragic fate of the monks during the Rakoczi invasion and the social situation in the countryside in the 19th century.
