geography

The place is on the brook Stryszawka in the Saybuscher Beskids ( Beskid Żywiecki ).

history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1480. It was founded a little earlier by the owners of Sucha , the Słupski family .

In the 16th century the hamlet of Roztoki was founded by refugees from noble estates, shortly afterwards the hamlet of Szałasiska was founded by Wallachians. From 1610 until the Second World War , the place belonged to the Sucha rule.

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).

The Roman Catholic parish was established in 1896.

The place belonged to the Sucha lordship . In 1841 the Roman Catholic parish was established. In 1884 the Żywiec –Sucha section of the Galician Transversal Railway was opened through Stryszawa.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Stryszawa came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the district of Saybusch in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ). The border with the General Government ran east of the village. The border guard was in the hamlet of Siwcówka. As part of the so-called Aktion Saybusch , over 200 Polish families were expelled from Stryszawa in the years 1941–1942 in order to settle ethnic Germans .

From 1975 to 1998 Stryszawa was part of the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
