Stara Wieś (German: Altdorf; both literally Old Village) is a dzielnica (district) of Pszczyna, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland.

[4] During the political upheaval caused by Matthias Corvinus the land around Pszczyna was overtaken by Casimir II, Duke of Cieszyn, who sold it in 1517 to the Hungarian magnates of the Thurzó family, forming the Pless state country.

After World War I in the Upper Silesia plebiscite 740 (65.3%) out of 1153 voters in Stara Wieś voted in favour of rejoining Poland, which just regained independence, against 411 (34,7%) opting for staying in Germany.

[8] During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the fights destroyed the church.

From November 1942 to April 1943, the Germans operated a forced labour subcamp of the Auschwitz concentration camp in the village.
