history

Former reformed prayer house, from 1980 a Roman Catholic chapel

The place in the Sandomir Voivodeship , Wiślica District was first mentioned in 1579. The often alternating place names Sie (d) lec (singular) and Sie (d) lce (plural) are very common in Poland. The etymology is not always clear, but most of the time it is explained as being associated with the word siodło meaning siedlisko, siedziba (settlement, seat).

The village belonged to Andrzej Gołuchowski, a supporter of the Polish Reformation. In the 17th century it was owned by the Reformed or Calvinist Dębicki family. The importance of the Reformed community increased under the pastors Daniel Stephanus and Samuel Cień and existed until the 19th century. In 1758 Stanisław Dębicki sold the Łubnice estate with Sielec to August Aleksander Czartoryski . The Szefer family also came from Sielec, from which 8 generations of Reformed pastors came from Lesser Poland .

During the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, Sielec and Western Galicia were annexed to the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire . In 1809 it came to the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 to the newly formed Russian-dominated Congress Poland . By the 1840s, around 500 German Protestant settlers (e.g. over 60 in neighboring Oględów ) settled in the area, outnumbering the Polish Calvinists. The Helvetian congregation was closed at that time and replaced by the new Evangelical-Augsburg branch congregation of Radom in Jawor .

After the end of the First World War , Sielec came to Poland. In 1921, Sielec had 60 houses with 399 inhabitants in the Oględów parish in the Powiat Stopnicki of the Kielce Voivodeship , of which only 21 were Protestants.

During the Second World War it belonged to the Radom district in the Generalgouvernement . From 1975 to 1998 Sielec was part of the Tarnobrzeg Voivodeship .
