history

Łapsze Wyżne is one of the fourteen villages in the Polish Spiš .

The place was first mentioned in documents in 1463 and 1469. The place belonged to the estates of Niedzica . In 1589 Albrecht Łaski sold the village to György Horváth. In the 16th and first half of the 17th centuries it was inhabited by many Russians , probably from Osturňa . At that time there was a wooden Greek Catholic church in the village. The Polish-Goral inhabitants had their own separate church. After the exodus of the Russians, the Russian Church was rededicated to a Roman Catholic (mentioned 1660). Today's brick church was built in its place.

In the 19th century, Slovak became the language of the church and schools, but the local Gorals spoke Goral , a dialect of Polish descent that was always considered Slovak in the Hungarian censuses, unlike the Goral villages of the Arwa . A policy of Magyarization was later pursued.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the village became part of the newly formed Czechoslovakia. As a result of the Czechoslovak-Polish border conflicts in the Spiš area, the place was assigned to the Second Polish Republic in 1920. Between 1920 and 1925 he belonged to the powiat Spisko-Orawski , from July 1, 1925 to the powiat Nowotarski . In 1921 the community had 130 houses with 602 inhabitants, of which 595 were Poles and 7 of other nationalities (mostly Slovaks), 593 were Roman Catholic, 1 Evangelical and 8 Israelite denominations.

From 1939 to 1945 the village became part of the Slovak State .

From 1975 to 1998 Łapsze Wyżne was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
