history

St. Anne's Church

The place name is derived from the Polish word Wąsy . The Slavic name Wąsice therefore means Bartdorf .

In 1845 the village consisted of a farm, two distilleries, a brewery and another 52 houses. In the same year 532 people lived in Wundschütz, 29 of them Catholic and 3 Jewish. In 1861 635 people lived in Wundschütz. The district of Wundschütz was founded in 1874 . The first head of office was the manor owner Theodor Gloffka.

In 1933 there were 885 people in Wundschütz, and in 1939 there were 844 people. Until 1945 the village belonged to the Kreuzburg OS district

As a result of the Second World War, Wundschütz fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . The place was subsequently renamed Wąsice and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. The estate in Wundschutz, built in the middle of the 19th century, remained unscathed during the war. In 1960 it is still described in the monument register of the Opole Voivodeship. It was later demolished to extract building material. The Church of St. Anna was built between 1983 and 1986. 1999 Wąsice came to the newly founded Powiat Kluczborski ( Kreuzburg district ).
