history
Belchau Castle was an estate district and belonged to the so-called Bialochow estates , namely Groß Bialochowo and Klein Bialochowo, which were located in the immediate vicinity of Graudenz and were known in older times as Belchau and Schillingsdorf . Groß Bialokow was a manor .
In 1268 the Pomesan nobleman Jones, a feudal man of the Teutonic Order and son of Sirgin, is mentioned as the owner of Belichow Castle ( castrum Belichow ). The place name Białochowo is a Polonized form of this original name.
Through the first partition of Poland-Lithuania in 1772, western Prussia, including Graudenz with its surrounding area including the Bialochow estates, was united with the eastern part of the Kingdom of Prussia under Frederick II of Prussia . In 1789, Groß Bialochowo and Klein Bialochowo are referred to as aristocratic emphyteutic villages with 19 fireplaces (households) and a farm or eight fireplaces.
The Gutsbezirk Castle Belchau belonged until 1919 Kreis Graudenz in marienwerder the province of West Prussia of the German Reich .
After the First World War , due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty in 1920, the region around Graudenz and the city had to be ceded to Poland in order to establish the Polish Corridor . After the attack on Poland in 1939, the district of Graudenz returned to the Reich territory and was now assigned to the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia . In the autumn of 1939 members of the paramilitary self-protection under the command of Curt von Falkenhayn murdered around 200 Poles from Białochowo and the neighboring villages in Białochowa.
Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945 . Where German citizens had not fled, they were in the period that followed sold .
Today the village has about 580 inhabitants.
