history

"Kraynsdorf" was first mentioned in 1353. Two years later the spelling "Krayersdorf" is documented. Other spellings were "Kreunsdorf" (1560) and "Kransdorf" (1571 and 1631). It belonged to the Neuroder district in the Glatzer Land , with which it shared the history of its political and ecclesiastical affiliation from the beginning. The first known owner was the von Maltitz family . In 1424 it belonged to Paul von Güsner, who sold it to Heintze von Donyn in 1446, who bequeathed it to his son Friedrich. After he died in 1465 without a male heir, Krainsdorf came to Georg von Stillfried-Rattonitz , who was married to Friedrich's sister Anna von Donyn. Georg's grandson Heinrich von Stillfried sold Krainsdorf to Karl von Tschischwitz von Tuntschendorf in 1589 . After his son Jonas died around 1612 without male descendants, his widow Anna, née von Haugwitz , inherited the Krainsdorfer Gut. She later married Wilhelm von Wiese, who died in 1633, so that her Krainsdorf fell back to her. In 1659 she bequeathed Krainsdorf to her son Hans Christoph von Wiese, who married Juliana Judith von Donig from Oberschwedeldorf in 1660 . After Hans Christoph died in 1669, Krainsdorf inherited the son of the same name, who, however, died in 1684 without a will. Therefore, Krainsdorf received his mother Juliana Judith in 1685, who was now married to Johann Georg von Eckwricht. Their son George Friedrich von Eckwricht inherited Krainsdorf in 1708 and sold it in 1734 to the imperial count Franz Anton von Götzen auf Eckersdorf .

After the First Silesian War in 1742 and finally with the Peace of Hubertusburg in 1763, Krainsdorf fell to Prussia together with the County of Glatz . After Johann Joseph ( Leonhard ) von Götzen, the Catholic Silesian line of those von Götzen in the male line , inherited his three sisters and in 1780 his nephew Anton Alexander von Magnis . In 1783 he also acquired the Krainsdorfer Freirichter share , so that he now owned the whole village.

For the period around 1800, there is evidence of: a branch church, a rectory, a school building, three stately outbuildings , 13 farmers, a Kretscham , a flour mill and 66 gardeners and cottagers .

After the reorganization of Prussia, Krainsdorf belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 , which was divided into districts. The district of Glatz was responsible from 1816–1853, and the district of Neurode from 1854–1932 . After its dissolution in 1933, Krainsdorf was again part of the Glatz district until 1945.

As a result of the Second World War , Krainsdorf fell to Poland with most of Silesia in 1945 and was renamed Krajanów . The German population was expelled in 1946 . Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . 1975-1998 Krajanów belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship ( Waldenburg ).

Attractions

  • The Church of St. George was built in 1585 on the site of an earlier church and later rebuilt in the Baroque style. Particularly worth seeing is the pulpit with the four evangelists and the emergency altar, which is surrounded by tendrils, on which there are medallions with the fourteen helpers . In older times the church was parish off to Neurode and from 1675 to Ludwigsdorf.
