geography

The place is located in the Saybuscher Basin on the Kocierka brook under the Little Beskids ( Beskid Mały ).

history

Łękawica is one of the oldest villages in the Saybuscher Basin.

The place was first mentioned in documents as the parish Luchowicz in the Peterspfennigregister of the year 1327 in the dean's office of Auschwitz of the diocese of Krakow . Later it was also mentioned as Lucovicz (1348) or Lucoviecz . The name is derived from the first name Łękawa .

Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz , which existed from 1315 during the period of Polish particularism . Since 1327 consisted fiefdom of the Kingdom of Bohemia . The area of Żywiec with the village was separated from the Duchy of Auschwitz in the 1450s under unexplained circumstances. From 1465 it finally belonged to Poland.

When Poland was first partitioned , Łękawica became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804).

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Łękawica came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the district of Saybusch in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ).

From 1975 to 1998 Łękawica belonged to the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
