history

Roschkowitz Castle (2014)
St. Anthony Church

The place is first mentioned in 1409 as Ruschindorf . The place name is derived from the Slavic term Ruschin and roughly means village of the Reussians .

In 1845 there was an evangelical church, an evangelical school, a castle, an outbuilding, a distillery and another 93 houses. In the same year, 1082 people lived in Roschkowitz, 260 Catholic and 14 Jewish. In 1861 there were 172 people in Woislawitz. In 1874 the Roschkowitz district was founded. The first head of office was the lieutenant and manor owner Carl von Jordan from Schiroslawitz.

In 1933 the place had 794 inhabitants. On July 24, 1936, the place name was changed to Röstfelde . In 1939, 870 people lived in Röstfelde. Until 1945 the village belonged to the Kreuzburg OS district

As a result of the Second World War, Röstfelde fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . The place was subsequently renamed Wojsławice and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Kluczborski ( Kreuzburg district ).

Attractions

  • The Roman Catholic St. Antonius Church was built in 1849 in neo-Romanesque style on the site of the wooden church that had previously burned down. The building served as a Protestant church until 1945. The church building has been a listed building since 1966.
  • The Rosh Kowitz Castle was built in 1845 on behalf of Wilhelm von Cramon-Taubadel. In 1914 the castle was rebuilt in an eclectic style by Bertram von Cramon-Taubadel. After 1945 the property was nationalized and a state farm was set up in the castle. Offices and staff apartments were set up in the castle. In 1998 the castle was bought by Andrzej Bugdoł. The castle is in dire need of renovation. The building, including the factory buildings and the warehouse, have been a listed building since 1977.
