Otrocz is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Chrzanów, within Janów County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.
History of Otrocz. The village of Otroch was founded in the 10th century by Princess Olga to protect the western borders of Rus'. Olga sent her squad to these places, led by her beloved youth (rus: "отрок" - Otrok), from where the name of the village came from. Earlier in these places there was a princely estate, an Orthodox monastery. But over time, they were lost: only the Prince's Lake remained from the estate, and an Orthodox church was built on the site of the monastery, which was turned into a church in the 20th century.
