history

The village is located in the Olsa area (also Teschener Silesia , Polish Śląsk Cieszyński ).

It was founded in the 16th century. The place was first mentioned in a document as ze wsy Wiessczat around 1577 . The name is derived from the first name Wieszcz (≤ * Věst-jb ).

Politically, the village belonged to the Duchy of Teschen , the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia in the Habsburg Monarchy .

After the abolition of patrimonial from 1850 it was a municipality in Austrian Silesia , Bielitz district and Skotschau judicial district . In the years 1880 to 1910 the village had about 140 inhabitants, there were predominantly Polish-speaking (between 93.7% and 100%) and German-speaking (8 or 6.3% in 1890). In 1910, 52.5% were Protestant, 47.5% Roman Catholic.

In 1920, after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and the end of the Polish-Czechoslovak border war , Wieszczęta became part of Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .

From 1975 to 1998 Wieszczęta belonged to the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .

A Protestant cemetery chapel was built in 1916. The parish ( Wieszczęta- Kowale , Diocese of Cieszyn ) was established in 1994.
