Between 1842 and 1843 a new sexton and school house was built in Mollwitz. In 1845 the village consisted of a Protestant church, a castle, an Evangelical school and another 95 houses. In the same year 525 people lived in Mollwitz, 27 of them Protestants. In 1874 the Mollwitz district was formed from the rural community of Mollwitz .

Attractions
St. Jacob
The Roman Catholic St. Jacob Church (Polish Kościół św. Jakuba ) dates from 1250 and was built in the Gothic style. The church has rich wall paintings from the middle of the 14th to the first quarter of the 16th century. Because of the destruction by the Hussites, the wall paintings were renewed around 1480. They contain themes from the Old and New Testament ( Biblia pauperum ) and are among the best Gothic wall paintings in Poland. In 1526 the church became Protestant, after which the wall paintings were plastered. In the 1860s, the plaster was removed from the paintings in the nave and the wall paintings were exposed. In 1945 the church became Catholic; today it is the Catholic parish church of St. James. In 1974 the church was renovated.
