Woszczyce

Woszczyce (German: Woschczytz) is a sołectwo in the south west of Orzesze, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland.

It was then mentioned in 1326 in the register of Peter's Pence payment among Catholic parishes of Oświęcim deanery of the Diocese of Kraków as Woskic.

[5] 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.

In the War of the Austrian Succession most of Silesia was conquered by the Kingdom of Prussia, including the village.

After World War I in the Upper Silesia plebiscite 186 out of 299 inhabitants voted in favour of joining Poland, against 113 for Germany.
