history
Around 1340 (1347–1352), the Krakow castellan Spycimir Leliwita built Melsthhin Castle on the grounds of the village of Chorzewice, later the headquarters of a powerful noble family Melsztyński . The name is of German origin ( e.g. Mühlstein .), Later mentioned Mulsteyn (1362), Myelsthyn (1456) and Melsztin (1581), not uncommon for medieval castles in Poland. Allegedly a Roman Catholic church was built as early as 1364. The castle was burned down in 1771 during the uprising of the Confederation of Bar .
The village initially belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Sącz District. During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Melsztyn became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). From 1855 Melsztyn belonged to the Brzesko District .
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Melsztyn came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . From 1975 to 1998 Melsztyn was part of the Tarnów Voivodeship .
