history
Michelsdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1289, when the Bohemian King Wenzel II gave Michelsdorf, together with the villages of Königshan , Kindelsdorf , Trautliebersdorf and the town of Schömberg, to Duke Bolko I of Schweidnitz-Jauer. Three years later, Bolko I founded the Cistercian monastery Grüssau , to which Michelsdorf belonged as an abbey village . After the death of Bolko II in 1368 it came to the Crown of Bohemia together with the Duchy of Schweidnitz-Jauer .
After the First Silesian War , Michelsdorf fell to Prussia in 1742, along with most of Silesia . In 1810 the monastery property was secularized . After the reorganization of Prussia in 1815, Michelsdorf belonged to the province of Silesia and from 1816 was incorporated into the Landeshut district, with which it remained connected until 1945. It formed its own rural community and since 1874 it belonged together with ( urban ) Hartau and Petzelsdorf to the administrative district ( urban ) Hermsdorf. In 1939, 885 people lived in Michelsdorf.
As a result of the Second World War , Michelsdorf fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Miszkowice . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . 1975-1998 Miszkowice belonged to the Jelenia Góra Voivodeship .
