History

edit

The village was founded by German law[2] and was first recorded around 1305 as Stradano superiori, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland.[3] The first known owner was probably Walter de Stradano, witness of a document on April 28, 1310.[4] Later it was divided in 4 parts. One belonged to the Gaffron family (before 1570 to 1611), another to the Rohr family (since 1557) or the Prittwitz family (since 1611).[5] The last manor house in Stradomia Wierzchnia was built by Otto von Reinersdorf-Paczensky und Tenczin in 1866 and rebuilt by Georg von Reinersdorf-Paczensky und Tenczin in 1880.[6] After Second World War it remained unused, the roof collapsed and it was practically a ruin as of 2011.
