history

The All Saints Church

The Marienkirche (Visitation of the Virgin Mary)

An existing church was mentioned in a document in the 14th century.

The place was mentioned in 1783 in the book Additions to the Description of Silesia as Boytzow , belonged to a Countess von Chorinsky and was in the Tost district of the Principality of Opole . At that time he had 182 inhabitants, a Vorwerk , a Catholic church, six farmers and 23 gardeners . In 1865 Boitschow consisted of a manor and a village. At that time the place had five farms, 16 half-farmers, eight quarter-farmers, three farmhands and 27 hawkers, as well as five shovel and pitchfork makers, two nail and blacksmiths, three cattle dealers, a food dealer, a Kretschmer (innkeeper) and a water miller. The manor once belonged to the von Seherr-Thoß family, and since 1830 it has been owned by Duke Victor von Ratibor. In 1805 the nearby Klodnitz Canal was opened.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 180 people eligible to vote locally voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 270 for membership in Poland. After the division of Upper Silesia, Boitschow remained with the German Empire . In 1936 the place was renamed Lärchenhag in the wake of a wave of renaming during the Nazi era . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Tost-Gleiwitz .

In 1945 the formerly German town came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed Bojszów in Poland . 1950 the place came to the Voivodeship Katowice. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Gliwicki and the Silesian Voivodeship.
