History
Iskrzyczyn is one of the oldest villages in Cieszyn Silesia. It was first mentioned in 1223 as Ischrichino, in a document of Bishop of Wrocław issued for Norbertine Sisters in Rybnik among villages paying them tithe.[1][2] It belonged then to the Duchy of Opole and Racibórz and Castellany of Cieszyn, which was in 1290 formed into the Duchy of Teschen. In 1453 it was bought by a Tschammer noble family.
The first school in Iskrzyczyn was opened in 1898.
According to the Austrian census of 1910 the village had 430 inhabitants. The census asked people their native language, and results show that all of them were Polish-speaking. The dominant religious groups were Roman Catholics with 278 (64.7%), followed by Protestants with 152 (35.3%).[3]
After World War I the village became a subject of the Polish–Czechoslovak border conflicts as part of Cieszyn Silesia. Eventually the village became part of the Second Polish Republic in 1920.
