Bielice (German Bielendorf ) is a village in the powiat Kłodzki in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland . It belongs to the urban and rural municipality Stronie Śląskie , from which it is twelve kilometers southeast. The border with the Czech Republic runs to the east in the immediate vicinity .

geography

Bielice is located in the southeast of the Glatzer Kessel in the Bielengebirge . It is the last village in the valley of the upper Landecker Biele , whose headwaters are above Bielice. Due to its geographical location, it is surrounded by mountains: to the north is the 957 m high Spitzberg ( Spičák ), to the southeast the 1125 m high Ficht ( Smrk ), to the southwest the 1076 m high Saalwiesenberg ( Jívína ) and the 1068 m high Urlich ( Orlik ) and in the northwest of the 1083 m high Black Mountain ( Czernica ). Neighboring towns are Nowy Gierałtów in the north and Nowe Bielice ( Neubielendorf ) in the south-west, which no longer exists . Beyond the border, in the northeast, lie the Moravian villages Petrovice ( Petersdorf ) and Kamenné . To the south are Ramzová , Petříkov , Ostružná and Adamov. It is the starting point for hikes along the White Biele to the nature reserve of the Saalwiesen ( Puszcza Śnieżnej Białki ) and into the Bielengebirge.

history

Bielendorf was laid out from 1606. It belonged to the County of Glatz and was a Bohemian chamber property . In 1684, together with other chamber villages in the Landeck district, it was acquired by the Governor of Glatz, Michael Wenzel von Althann , who formed the Seitenberg rulership from the acquired villages .

After the Silesian Wars , Bielendorf and the County of Glatz came to Prussia in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg . After the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and was initially incorporated into the district of Glatz. On January 24, 1818, it was reclassified to the Habelschwerdt district , with which it remained connected until 1945.

Since the end of the 19th century Bielendorf has developed into a popular resort and winter sports destination. In 1939 350 inhabitants were counted. As a result of the Second World War , Bielendorf, like almost all of Silesia, fell to Poland and was renamed Bielice . The German residents were expelled and partly replaced by settlers from eastern Poland . Because of the remote location, the number of residents fell significantly, leaving many houses to decay. In the years 1975-1998 Bielice belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship (German Waldenburg ). Since the political change of 1989, the tourist importance of Bielice has increased.

Neubielendorf Colony

The Neubielendorf colony was laid out in 1792 as a forester's house settlement. At the beginning of the 20th century it consisted of several houses as well as the St. Anna chapel. After the Second World War, the place was not repopulated and therefore left to decay.

Attractions

  • The subsidiary church "Maria vom Berg Carmel" was saved from decay a few years ago. It already served as a cattle shed and was repaired and given a simple interior thanks to the efforts of Pastor Stefan Witczak from Nowy Gierałtów ( Neugersdorf ) .
