history

First, in 1359 (a copy from the 19th century) the Landiscoronese castrum ( Lanckorona Castle ) was first mentioned in a document. Earlier mentioned mentions in 1336 or as villa Hartmanni (see Przeciszów at Zator ) are incorrect. Two years later, King Casimir the Great gave permission for the city to be founded. In 1366 the city of Lanczkoruna was granted Magdeburg law . The castle protected the border of Poland against the Duchy of Auschwitz (from 1445 the Duchy of Zator ), which was under the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia since 1327, opposite the Silesian Castle of Barwałd . The name Lanckorona is derived from the German name of the castle and means land crown . The first mention of the city's name as Lanczkoruna (1366) is Polonized.

From the later 14th / early 15th century until the partitions of Poland , Lanckorona Castle was the seat of a Starostei in the Szczyrzyc County in the Krakow Voivodeship .

On May 23, 1771, the Battle of Lanckorona took place there, which was one of the most important clashes between Polish and Russian troops in the War of the Confederation of Bar .

During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Lanckorona became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). The Starostei was nationalized. In 1780 the city had 681 inhabitants, the suburb 950 inhabitants. After the suburb was incorporated, Lanckorona had between 1,300 and 1,400 inhabitants. From 1782 the city belonged to the Myslenice district , from 1819 with the seat in Wadowice .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Lanckorona became part of the Second Polish Republic . This was interrupted by the German occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the Krakow district in the General Government .

In 1933 Lanckorona lost its town charter due to the stagnant development.

From 1975 to 1998 Lanckorona was part of the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
