of the Poznan cathedral, and they are probably the ones who built the
parish church there; it already existed by the first half of the 15th
century. It was made of wood and burned down several times; the current
one was consecrated by Poznan suffragan bishop Wierzbowski in 1701. At
present Maczniki and Bagrowo usually have one pastor. The Maczniki estate
is now the property of Wlodzimierz Wolniewicz. Maczniki parish, of Sroda
deanery, has 1,145 souls, with a branch church in Bagrowo.

Also known as Montwy. A village in powiat Inowrocław. According to documents in 1153, Duke Bolesław, brother of Mieszko, gave the monastery in Łekno "Manthev". In 1193, the charter was given to the Strzelno monastery and was listed in its number of possessions: "the Mantwa bridge and inn" (K.W., n. 18, 32, 101). In 1234, Kazimierz, the Duke of Kujawy, buried his deceased wife at St. Troy church in Strzelno, this alleviated the duties on the church and inn, "in Monthwa super Nothes". In 1246, documents list that the bridge was named Mantowa (Ulanow. Dok. Kujaw., str. 123, 125, i 127). It seems that the bulk of the area was Matwy, then part of this area became Inowrocław.

Muz~yl~owice
Muzylowice, Narodowe and Muzylowice
kolonia, (Ukr. name Muzhylovychi), a village in Jaworow
powiat [now Yavoriv, Ukraine], 12 km. southeast of the county
court and post office in Jaworow, 12 km. northwest of the train station
in Kamienobrod. There is a post office in the village. To the north lie
Berdychow, Podluby Wielkie, and Przylbice; to the west Ozomla; to the
south Nowosiolki, Laszki, and Czarnokonce; to the southeast Tuczapy; and
to the east Lesniowice (in Grodek Jagiellofnski county). Through the eastern
part of the village flows a small stream, a tributary of the Hnojeniec,
which flows into the Szk1o. The stream enters the village on the south,
from Tuczapy, and flows southwest. On its left bank, in the middle of
the village's land, are its buildings. The western part is wooded, i.
e., to the south lies the forest called Krasny Zapust (with a high point
of 272 meters), and to the north lies Chlopska gora.
The major estate has 10 morgs of farmland, 24 of meadows
and gardens, I of pastureland, and 628 of woods; the minor estate has
1,445 morgs of farmland, 282 of meadows and gardens, 157 of pastureland.
In 1880 there were 863 inhabitants in the gmina, 40 on the grounds of
the estate (among them 511 Roman Catholics).
There is a Roman Catholic rectory in the village, of
Jaworow deanery, Przemysl diocese. Belonging to the parish are: Czarnokonce,
Laszki, and Nowosiolki. The brick church, of the Visitation of the Blessed
Virgin, was erected in 1749 and consecrated in 1854. There is also a Greek
Catholic parish church in the village, of Sadowa-Wisznia deanery, Przemysl
diocese. Czarnokonce belongs to the parish. In the village is the (Greek
Catholic] church of St. Michael the Archangel, an unorganized school,
and a fund for the poor, founded by Rev. Dyzma Nowotny, the former Roman
Catholic priest in Muzylowice, confirmed by an 1841 provincial
directive. The purpose of the fund is to support the poor. Its capital
consists of 50 zloty in bonds.
This village was founded by the Muzylo family. After
it died out in Muzyla, in Podolia province, in the 15th century,
the property went to the king and was attached to the Jaworow starostwo.
In 1604 Stanislaw Stadnicki of Zmigrod bequeathed to the Jesuits of
Lwow his estates of Muzylowice, Podluby, and others (see Arch. Bernard.
we Lwowie, vol. 1 41, p. 322). After the abolition of the Jesuit congregations
the Austrian government took over the village and founded a German settlement
on its land, Muschelowitz. There is a large, ancient brick castle there.
