History
The area became part of the emering Polish state in the 10th century, and after its fragmentation into smaller duchies it formed part of the duchies of Silesia, Opole and Racibórz and Cieszyn, remaining under the rule of the Piast dynasty. It was first mentioned in a written document in 1574. Originally called Podpierściec as it lay close to Pierściec.[4] Politically the village belonged then to the Duchy of Cieszyn, which by then became a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg monarchy.
