history

The place was first mentioned in 1377 when it was owned by Wroch de Malcze . Fortifications existed in the village in the 14th and 15th centuries.

Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz under the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . In 1457 the duchy and the village were bought by Poland and mentioned as Malyecz .

King Casimir IV Jagiełło gave Malecz to Piotr Komorowski in 1485 for favors.

During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Malec became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). After the abolition of patrimonial it formed a parish in the Biała District .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Malec came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged, contrary to international law, to the district of Bielitz in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ).

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

In 1991 a Roman Catholic parish was established.
