history

Falsztyn is one of the fourteen villages in the Polish Spiš .

According to legend, there was a monastery there, which was destroyed by the Hussites in 1431. In 1963, some remains of a medieval building were found by archaeologists, perhaps that of the monastery. Castle Falkenstein was built after the 1535 Hieronim Łaski. In the years 1589–1594 it was mentioned as a Vorwerk . It belonged to the Niedzica estate .

In 1751 Jakob Buchholtz visited the village with other scholars from Vienna.

In the 19th century, Slovak became the language of the church and schools, but the local Gorals spoke Goral , a dialect of Polish descent that was always considered Slovak in the Hungarian censuses, unlike the Goral villages of the Arwa . A policy of Magyarization was later pursued.

Between the years 1885 and 1933, the village of the Hungarian-speaking family Jungenfeld belonged to 1927 and survived there of forced labor .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy , the village became part of the newly formed Czechoslovakia . As a result of the Czechoslovak-Polish border conflicts in the Spiš area, the place was assigned to the Second Polish Republic in 1920, but was part of the Slovak state from 1939 to 1945 .

From 1975 to 1998 Falsztyn was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
