Kamieńczyk (German Steinbach ) is a village in the south of the powiat Kłodzki in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland. It belongs to the municipality of Międzylesie ( Mittelwalde ), from which it is three kilometers southwest.

geography

Kamieńczyk is located on the southern edge of the Habelschwerdter Mountains on the border with the Czech Republic. Neighboring towns are Smreczyna / Fichtenwalde in the northwest, Boboszów / Bobischau in the southeast, Petrovičky ( Deutsch Petersdorf ) and Mladkov / Wichstadtl in the south, České Petrovice / Böhmisch Petersdorf in the west and the no longer inhabited Czerwony Strumień / Rothflössel in the northwest.

history

Steinbach was founded in 1564 by David and Michael Tschirnhaus, the owners of the Mittelwalde estate at the time, to whose dominion it belonged. It stretches up the Adamsberg, where there was a free judiciary right on the border that is no longer preserved.

After the Silesian Wars , Steinbach and the County of Glatz came to Prussia in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg . After the reorganization of Prussia, it 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 271 inhabitants.

As a result of the Second World War , Steinbach fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Kamieńczyk . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . Because of the remote border location, most of the residents left the place in the following decades, so that it is now heavily depopulated. 1975–1998 Kamieńczyk belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship (German Waldenburg ).

Attractions

  • The St. Michael burial chapel, built around 1710, is covered with clapboards. It is a log building with scrap wood beams clad on both sides and a square tower with an onion dome. The altar with small doors and the pulpit come from the Bohemian Wichstadtl ( Mladkov ). The flat coffered ceiling and the parapet of the surrounding galleries were decorated with a floral pattern by the Prague painter Anton Ferdinand Veit in 1734 and renewed by the painter Herbert Blaschke from Habelschwerd at the beginning of the 20th century. The reverse glass pictures of the Way of the Cross also come from him.
  • There is a baroque stone cross next to the church.
