Przybysławice

Przybysławice is a village in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, within the Kraków County, situated in the buffer zone of the Ojców National Park. Its name derives from its founder, Przybysław, and the first records of the settlement date back to 1352. At that time, Przybysławice was owned by Jacek and Sieciej, who sold it to Jan of Syrokomla. The village's history reveals numerous transactions and changes in ownership, with the locality being held by various families over the centuries, including the Oraczewski and Ługowski families. In the 18th century, Przybysławice came into the possession of Michał Jordan, the voivode of Bracław, and later the Wodzicki family. After World War II, a community center was built, where the local community developed and amateur theater culture thrived. In 2006, a modern cultural facility with a library and an event hall was opened. The village has transport connections to Kraków, and demographic growth has led to a doubling of its population over twenty years. Przybysławice is also the starting point of a tourist trail leading to regional attractions, and the central point of the village is a roadside cross from 1913. A branch of the public library operates in Przybysławice, highlighting local interest in culture and education. Architecturally, the village blends tradition with modernity, and its history is part of the rich context of Lesser Poland's past.
