Bładnice is a village in Gmina Skoczów, Cieszyn County, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland. It is located in the Silesian Foothills, on the Bładnica river, left tributary of the Vistula river. It lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia.

History

The village was first mentioned in 1416 in the document of

fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg monarchy
.

The history of the village was strongly twined with the history of Nierodzim where the noble owners of them both resided. Later the distinction between two parts of the village developed: Dolne (lit. Lower) and Górne (Upper). Bładnice Górne were then absorbed by Nierodzim. In the late 19th century they both became part of the Teschener Kammer.[1]

After

Roman Catholics (61, 29.9%).[2] Similarly Bładnice Górne as a cadastral community of Nierodzim in 1910 had 87 inhabitants, all of them Polish-speaking, 57 (65.5%) Protestants and 30 (34.5%) Catholics.[3] The village was also traditionally inhabited by Cieszyn Vlachs, speaking Cieszyn Silesian dialect
.

After World War I, the fall of Austria-Hungary, the Polish–Czechoslovak War and the division of Cieszyn Silesia in 1920, it became a part of Poland. It was then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II. After the war it was restored to Poland.

Bładnicy Dolne and Bładnice Górne were administratively joined in 1973.[1]

Religion

A Lutheran church was built here in 1990, as a filial church of

Diocese of Cieszyn
