history

Winkeldorf Church

Winkeldorf was first mentioned in 1346 as Winklerdorf . In the 14th and 15th centuries it was referred to in Latin as Winkleri villa and from 1560 also as Winkeldorf . It belonged to the Karpenstein dominion in the Glatzer Land . In 1384 it was already a parish, since the St. Katharina is included in a register of the parishes of Kłodzko that was drawn up in that year. After Karpenstein Castle was destroyed in 1443, it fell to the Crown of Bohemia as a royal chamber village . The church of Winkeldorf subsequently lost its parish status and became a subsidiary church of Schreckendorf . During the Reformation the population professed the Lutheran faith. After the re-conquest of the County of Glatz in 1622/1623 by the imperial troops, the residents were re-Catholicized . In 1684, the Bohemian Chamber sold Winkeldorf together with Oberthalheim, Voigstdorf , Heidelberg , Leuthen , Karpenstein , Wolmsdorf and Konradswalde to the Glatzer regent and imperial councilor Sigmund Hofmann († 1698), who had been elevated to the nobility by the emperor with the title "von Leuchtenstern" . His grandson Leopold Reichsgraf von Leuchtenstern sold Winkeldorf and Wolmsdorf to Count Georg Olivier von Wallis , who already had extensive possessions in the County of Glatz and connected Winkeldorf with the rule of Seitenberg .

After the Silesian Wars , Winkeldorf and the County of Glatz fell to Prussia in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg . In 1783 Stephan Olivier von Wallis sold all the properties inherited from his father to the hereditary land management director Friedrich Wilhelm Graf von Schlabrendorf on Stolz und Hassitz. Although in 1789 he sold the rulers Seitenberg and Plomnitz to the royal judiciary Franz von Mutius on Gellenau and Altwasser , he kept the villages of Winkeldorf, Wolmsdorf, Weißwasser and Martinsberg for himself and incorporated them into his rule Kunzendorf . After the reorganization of Prussia, Winkeldorf belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and was initially incorporated into the district of Glatz. In 1818 it was reclassified to the Habelschwerdt district , to which it belonged until 1945. In 1939 there were 209 inhabitants.

As a result of the Second World War , Winkeldorf fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Kąty Bystrzyckie . The German population was expelled . Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . 1975-1998 Kąty Bystrzyckie belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship ( Waldenburg ). Since many of the newly settled residents left Kąty Bystrzyckie in the following years, the number of inhabitants decreased significantly and is now around a quarter of the population of 1939. As a result, most of the houses and farms were left to decay. With the help of a support group, the former Gottwald farm was restored and transformed into a meeting place.

Attractions

The parish church of St. Catherine, mentioned in 1384, was rebuilt in 1540. It is now a branch church of Lądek-Zdrój. The painting on the main altar shows St. Catherine. Michael Klahr the Elder created the four evangelists at the pulpit in 1721 . Ä. They were originally intended for the church in Rengersdorf . The group of figures is no longer complete, as two of the figures have been lost due to theft. The church was in poor condition in the post-war years. It was repaired by a renovation association founded in 1999 and with financial support from former German residents.
