History
The oldest documented mention of the village dates back to 1279. In a document issued by Duke Bolesław the Chaste, confirming the possessions of the Poor Clares’ convent in Grodzisko, the village is listed under the name Trantnowice. At that time, the duke granted permission to relocate service population from Goszcza to this village (as well as to Wierzbno)[1].
In the 15th century, the village came under the influence of the powerful noble family of the Szafraniec family, owners of the nearby Pieskowa Skała. In 1402, Piotr Szafraniec allocated income from part of Trątnowice to endow an altar in the Wawel Cathedral. This foundation was expanded in 1412, when part of the village’s income began to support the budget of the Kraków Academy, providing financial assistance to its professors and students[2].
In the 19th century, an agricultural estate (manor farm) operated in Trątnowice. In the local manor house, on 2 October 1880, Edward Kopciński was born — a Polish painter and educator, a student of Teodor Axentowicz and Józef Mehoffer[3].
During World War I, in November 1914, fighting took place in the vicinity of the village between Russian and Austro-Hungarian troops (as part of the Battle of Kraków). A remnant of these events is a war grave located in the fields (near property no. 12), in the form of an earthen mound. It most likely contains the remains of 24 soldiers of the Russian Army and 1 soldier of the Austro-Hungarian Army.
In the years 1975–1998, the village administratively belonged to the former Kraków Voivodeship.
Volunteer Fire Brigade
The village has a unit of the Volunteer Fire Brigade (OSP Trątnowice), operating as an association. The unit is not included in the National Firefighting and Rescue System (KSRG), serving a supporting role in the fire protection system of Gmina Słomniki.
History and equipment:
Although firefighting traditions in the village date back to the mid-20th century, the unit obtained its current legal form on 29 May 2001, when it was officially entered into the National Court Register (KRS)[4].
A significant event in the unit’s recent history occurred in 2021, when the OSP acquired a newer firefighting vehicle. With funds from the budget of Gmina Słomniki, a light reconnaissance and rescue vehicle Ford Transit was purchased, previously used by the OSP Sulisławice unit. It replaced worn-out equipment and increased the unit’s mobility[5].
The fire station (located at number 62) serves as the centre of social life in the village, functioning as a venue for residents’ meetings and cultural events.
Sport and recreation
In 1946, a football club was founded in the village: LKS “Trątnowianka” Trątnowice. Over the years, the team competed in leagues organised by the Lesser Poland Football Association, playing, among others, in Class B (Kraków I group) and Class C.
The village also has a playground adapted for young children.
