history
The former Prussian village of Beisleiden was first mentioned in documents in 1338. Nevertheless, the entire region had been inhabited since the Bronze Age, which is documented by prehistoric finds. In addition to the former Beisleidener Vorwerk in Groß Wallhof (also: Groß Wolla, now Polish: Wola) there are remains of a Prussian fortification on the Schlossberg.
The settlement consisted of several Beisleiden free goods with owners like John Pomeneyn and Johann Kracht or Nadraue and Tolmigk . A Heinrich von Biseleyden is also mentioned. Around 1400 the Cologne estate, formed from the freehold goods, belonged to a Philip von Beisleiden , who gave the place its name. He was a bitter opponent of the Teutonic Order .
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the property changed hands several times. In 1801, the General Landschaftsrat Ludwig von Oldenburg (1778–1843), the first district administrator in the Prussian Eylau district , bought the property. He stayed with his family until 1945. The von Oldenburg family belonged to the ancient aristocracy of Bremen , immigrated to Mecklenburg in 1262 and from there came to East Prussia in the 18th century .
Until 1945 the school location was Beisleiden municipality in the district of Preußisch Eylau in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . The responsible district court was that in Bartenstein . In 1910 there were 573 inhabitants. Today there are 470, and the village bears the Polish name Bezledy and belongs with 110 other places to the rural community Bartoszyce in powiat Bartoszycki in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (1975-1998 Olsztyn Voivodeship ). The manor house from the 17th / 18th centuries Century no longer stands today.

Religions
The predominantly Protestant residents of Beisleiden before 1945 belonged to the parish pastor of Preussisch Eylau (today Russian: Bagrationowsk), which was ten kilometers away , which was the seat of a separate church district (originally Bartenstein Inspection ) within the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . A small chapel was built in Beisleiden in the 19th century. The last German clergy until 1945 were the pastors Karl Wilhelm Heinrich Müller and Martin Braun in Preußisch Eylau.
Today mainly Catholic church members live in Bezledy. The chapel is now called " St. Maximilian Kolbe ". The place is the parish seat and belongs to the deanery Bartoszyce (Bartenstein) in the Archdiocese of Warmia of the Polish Catholic Church.
