Męcina is a village with a Schulzenamt of the rural municipality Limanowa in the powiat Limanowski of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship in Poland .
geography
The place lies on the Smolnik brook, a left tributary of the Dunajec , in the island Beskids . The neighboring towns are Pisarzowa in the west, Ujanowice and Stańkowa in the north, Kłodne and Krasne Potockie in the east, and Kanina and Wysokie in the south.
history
In Męcina and Pisarzowa, tombs of the Lausitz culture (1200 to 400 BC) have been found.
The place was first mentioned in 1325/1326 as a fairly large parish [Item Johannes, plebanus ecclesie de] Mantina in the Peterspfennigregister in the Deanery of Sącz of the Diocese of Krakow . The possessive name is derived from the personal name * Męta (compare Mantko opidanum Czanstkochowic in 1426).
Politically and administratively, the private village belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Sącz District. During the Reformation around 1600, the lower part of the village (Męcina Niżna or Dolna; Męcina Wyżna / Górna belonged to the Marcinkowski family) belonged to the Krzesz family. In the middle of the 16th century under Sebastian Krzesz the payment of the tithe stopped when he usurped part of the priest's property and charged the priest with negligence. After winning a court case, Sebastian Krzesz drove the priest and brought in two Arian priests, i.e. H. the Polish brothers from Wielogłowy . In 1605 the Roman Catholic priest returned. The following squire, Jan Krzesz, however, considered himself a Lutheran until the Swedish Flood . Stanisław Krzesz changed the denomination to Roman Catholic and built the new wooden church in the late 17th century.
After the First Partition of Poland, Męcina became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Męcina came to Poland. This was interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II , during which it was part of the Krakow district in the Generalgouvernement .
From 1975 to 1998 Męcina was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
