Spytkowice is a village in the powiat Nowotarski of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship in Poland . It forms the only part of the rural community of the same name with around 4500 inhabitants.

geography

The place is on the uppermost course of the Skawa in the east of the Saybuschen Beskids in the Rabka Basin , northeast of the Spytkowicka mountain pass (709 m). The neighboring towns are Toporzysko and Wysoka in the north, Raba Wyżna in the southeast, Podsarnie and Harkabuz in the south and Podwilk in the southwest.

history

In the 13th century or even earlier, one of the trade routes from Kraków to Hungary ran through the Spytkowicka mountain pass . Because of the dense forest, the trade route was harder but shorter than the route through Sącz . The village was only founded by Spytek Jordan in the second half of the 16th century.

A Roman Catholic parish was established in 1758.

During the first partition of Poland in 1772 the village became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Spytkowice became part of Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .

Rural community

From 1975 to 1998 Spytkowice was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship . The village was separated from the Raba Wyżna rural community on January 1, 1998 and has since formed its own rural community.
