history

The place was first mentioned in 1377 when it was owned by Rachnowski de Bulyvycz [e] . The name is patronymically derived from the personal name Bul (compare bula , bul´a - swelling, bulge) with the typical West Slavic suffix - (ow) ice.

Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz under feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . In 1457 the duchy with the village of Bulowicze was bought by the Polish king. In 1564 Bulowice was completely incorporated as part of the new Silesia District of the Krakow Voivodeship to the Kingdom of Poland , from 1569 the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic .

During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Bulowice became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). From 1782 the village belonged to the Myslenice district (1819 with the seat in Wadowice ). After the abolition of patrimonial it formed a parish in the Biała District and Kęty Judicial District from 1850. At that time, Edmund Larisch settled in the village, who built a neo-Gothic palace in the English style after the Scottish Huntly Castle for his wife Jessey Mapeltoft-Paterson.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Bulowice became part of Poland and the Krakow Voivodeship . This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the district of Bielitz in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ).

After the war, the palace was nationalized and turned into a sanatorium , then for drug therapy . As of 2008 the palace has been abandoned and the Larisch family is striving to regain the palace.

From 1975 to 1998 Bulowice was part of the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
