history

According to later sources, the Roman Catholic parish was established in 1328, but the place was founded in 1335 by the Jeżowski family of the Strzemię coat of arms. In 1416 the village Jazowa northwest of Wilczyska was first mentioned in a document, later Jeżowa or Jeżów , now a hamlet of Wilczyska. It was probably founded in 1384 as Wola Jeżowa .

Old wooden church

Politically and administratively the village belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Biecz District . During the Reformation around 1600 there was a Protestant community there. In 1606 a well-known Arian (see Polish Brothers ) Albert Rożen lived there . After 1525 a protective courtyard was built on the left bank of the Biała, later rebuilt several times and the seat of an Arian community.

During the first partition of Poland , Wilczyska became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). In the late 19th century Stanisław Wyspiański and Artur Grottger visited the shelter .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Wilczyska came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . Two well-known Polish partisans came from Wilczyska: Kazimierz Wątróbski (1916–1944) and Adam Rysiewicz (1918–1944). In 1944 the village was "pacified" by German occupiers through violence and 8 residents were shot by the Gestapo .

From 1975 to 1998 Wilczyska was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
