History

Boguszyce formerly belonged to the church district of Oleśnica. From 1538 onward it was a Protestant community. The church was built in 1712 to 1714. It still exists and its interior is more or less unchanged, except for adapting it to the now Catholic belief.

  • 1867: 675 inhabitants

  • 1905: 572 inhabitants (of them 554 Protestant, 18 Catholic) in 87 houses and 135 households
  • 1925: 714 inhabitants
  • 1939: 704 inhabitants in 202 households

Boguszyce lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) north of Oleśnica, and 29 kilometres (18 mi) north-east of the regional capital Wrocław.
