Kościeleczki [kɔɕt͡ɕɛˈlɛt͡ʂki] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Malbork, within Malbork County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It is located in the region of Powiśle.
History
The village dates back to the medieval period. It was initially called Warnow or Warnaw.[2] During the Thirteen Years' War of 1454–1466, in 1454, troops from Gdańsk stayed there, aiding the Polish siege of Malbork.[2] The village was destroyed during the war. In 1471, King Casimir IV Jagiellon permitted starost of Malbork Jan Kościelecki to re-establish the village.[2] Jan Kościelecki named the village Kościeleczki after himself, appointed a sołtys (village administrator) and funded a new church.[2] During the Polish–Swedish War of 1626–1629, in 1628, the main camp of Swedish infantry was based here before a Polish offensive from Gniew pushed out the occupiers.[2] In c. 1650, a Jesuit farming estate was founded.[3] In 1700 Bishop Teodor Potocki handed over the church and parish to the Jesuits.[3]
In the First Partition of Poland of 1772, the village was annexed by Kingdom of Prussia, and from 1871 it also formed part of the German Empire. In 1920-1939 it was part of the Free City of Danzig, then it was occupied by Nazi Germany in World War II, and eventually restored to Poland in 1945.
