History

Václavovice was founded during the colonization of Cieszyn Silesia in the late the 13th century. The first written mention is from 1302 under its Latin name Wenceslaowitz.[2]

Politically the village belonged initially to the Duchy of Teschen, formed in 1290 in the process of feudal fragmentation of Poland and was ruled by a local branch of Piast dynasty. In 1327 the duchy became a fee of Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg monarchy.
