Kmity ( Polish. Kmitowie ) - an old Polish and Belarusian gentry family coat of arms Shrenyava , known since the XIV century . Family estate Kmitov was located in the castle in Vishnitsa. The following Kmitas received lands in the Przemysl foothills and the Bieszczady Mountains at the end of the 14th century. Soben Castle was chosen as a family estate, and after it was destroyed by the Hungarian army of Prince Rakoczy, the estate was transferred to Lesko .
