history

Archaeological finds attest that the area of ​​Pushkau was already settled in the Bronze Age.

Puschkau was founded before 1134 by Count Peter Wlast , who donated the taxes from Puschkau and other neighboring villages for the initial furnishing of the monastery of the Augustinian Canons on Zobtenberg , which he founded. After this was moved to Breslau , where it became known as the sand pen , the taxes were paid there. While it was part of the Sandstift, Puschkau was suspended under German law before 1259. It had an inheritance charter , a manor, a water mill and a parish church. After 1260 it passed to two knight families:

  • Around 1320 the Mittelhof belonged to the landlords of Puszczow, from the middle of the 14th century to the end of the 16th century that of Mühlheim-Puschke, after which it was owned by the von Kalckreuth , von Seidlitz and von Reibnitz .
  • On the Niederhof, whose manor house was the former Erbscholtisei, lived from 1495 by Kalckreuth, 1650 by Gafron, then by von der Dahm and 1733-1835 by the Counts of Hochberg , who however lived on Rohnstock . It then belonged to the industrialist Eduard von Kramsta from Freiburg , who was followed by his unmarried daughter Marie . She bequeathed the property to her great-nephew Hans-Christoph von Wietersheim-Kramsta, who lived in his castle in Muhrau and was expropriated in 1945.

Puschkau initially belonged to the Duchy of Breslau and after its division in 1278 it came to the Duchy of Schweidnitz . Together with this it fell to the crown of Bohemia after the death of Duke Bolkos II in 1368 .

Around 1565 Caspar von Kalkreuth built the new palace in the Renaissance style. In the 16th century Puschkau became Protestant in the course of the Reformation . After the Thirty Years' War the church was returned to the Catholics and the previously independent church of Peterwitz was assigned to the parish church of Puschkau as a subsidiary church.

After the First Silesian War , Puschkau fell to Prussia in 1742, like almost all of Silesia . From 1832 a sugar factory was built, which gave Puschkau an economic boom. In 1874 the administrative district Puschkau was formed, which consisted of the rural communities Puschkau, Czechs and Zedlitz as well as the estate districts of Puschkau, Czechs and Zedlitzbusch and belonged to the district of Schweidnitz . In 1892 Marie von Kramsta had a Protestant church built. In 1939 there were 966 inhabitants in Puschkau.

As a result of the Second World War , Puschkau fell to Poland in 1945, together with almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Pastuchów . The German population was expelled. Some of the newly settled residents were displaced from eastern Poland . 1975-1998 Pastuchów belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship ( Waldenburg ). This was dissolved with the administrative reform in 1999. Since then it has belonged to the Lower Silesian Voivodeship.

Attractions

  • The Catholic parish church of St. Barbara was probably built around 1250 and was first mentioned in 1313. In the 18th century it was expanded and at the end of the 19th century it was regotified and furnished in the same style. The stone baptismal font dates from the 16th century.
  • The two-storey palace building was added to a residential tower in the Renaissance style around 1565 , which had been built for Melchior von Kalkreuth in the 1520s. Further alterations and modernizations took place in the 18th and 19th centuries.
  • The Protestant church, built in the neo-Gothic style in 1892, was devastated in the 1950s. The entrance gate and the Protestant rectory have been preserved.
