History
Since the Middle Ages, the village was part of Poland, Bohemia, Hungary, Austria, Prussia and Germany, before becoming again part of Poland after World War II in 1945.
On February 14, 1874, the Amtsbezirk Groß Weigelsdorf – district-District of Kiełczów was created, comprising the villages of Kiełczów, Kiełczówek, Mirków and probably Kamień, as well as the land estates of Kiełczów, Kiełczówek and Kamień. Gutspächter Steiner became the administrator of the newly created district, and Waschke on December 3, 1880.[3]
Currently, Kiełczów is the largest village in Długołęka County, with a population of 10,572 (as of 2021).[4]
Landmarks
Kiełczów's only registered landmark is the evangelical, currently roman catholic, Our Lady of the Rosary church. The current church was constructed sometime during 1790–1792, consecrated in 1792, and converted to its current denomination in 1945.[5]
