history
Already in 1150 the place was mentioned in a document as Villa Falkonis and in 1223 in the document of Bishop Laurentius von Breslau as Falkou . The place came into the possession of the Sandtift in Breslau early on . Since 1460 Qualkau owned a hereditary scholtisei. Since 1688 it was a manor. In 1698 the monastery bought it and turned it into a dominium . The manor also later bore the name Scholzenhof. After the first Silesian War , Qualkau fell to Prussia in 1741/42 and was incorporated into the Schweidnitz district.
In 1785 the village had 1 farm, 3 water mills, 6 farmers, 7 gardeners, 10 cottagers and 204 inhabitants. The residents of Gorkau were evangelical and the parish was Catholic in Zobten am Berge . Since 1839 Qualkau had a Catholic school in which 1 teacher taught 95 children. Together with Klein Bielau, Qaulkau formed a separate district. In 1845 the village had 42 houses, 1 farm, 1 Catholic school, 1 manorial sheep farm, 3 water mills, of which the stone mill formed the dominium and the upper and lower mills were privately owned, 1 Kramer, 1 Höcker, 7 craftsmen, 1 brickworks and 379 inhabitants, 19 of them Protestant. In a nearby quarry, granite was processed into stone slabs and columns.
In 1928 the Qualkau manor district was incorporated into the Qualkau rural community. In 1933 Qualkau had 681 inhabitants, 136 of them Protestant and 542 Catholic. When it was taken over by Soviet troops and the Polish administration in 1945, Qualkau was renamed Chwałków . The German residents were expelled and replaced by Poles .
