Church was “Saint Michael”
[1756, still standing]
The wooden church was
closed for 39 years after WWII and is now used by Polish Roman Catholics. The village in 1510 belonged to the
Standnyckyj family and in 1581 a Greek Catholic priest was known to have been
in the parish. In 1873 there was a
cholera epidemic, in 1887 the crops were ruined by a “great Freeze”, in 1889
the locality was struck by drought and in 1899 and 1934 floods greatly damaged
the village.
In 1918, under the
leadership of the pastor, A Rus’ka narodna rada was formed, with the intention
of forming a Lemko Republic joined to Czechoslovakia, but this was soon
liquidated by the Polish Government.
In 1786 the village lands
comprised 18.75 sq. km. There were 528
Greek Catholics
0 Roman Catholics and 14
Jews
1840 – 356 Greek Catholics
1859 – 634 Greek Catholics
1879 – 698 Greek Catholics
1899 – 736 Greek Catholics
1926 – 820 Greek Catholics
1936 – 26 Greek Catholics
and 1491 Orthodox, 4 Roman Catholics and 0 Jews
The village was
incorporated into the Lemko Apostolic Administration in 1934
Filial church located in
Svirzova Rus’ka 4 km away and Svjatkova Mala 2 km away
