Pielgrzymowice (Polish pronunciation: [pjɛlɡʐɨmɔˈvit͡sɛ]; German: Pilgramsdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Pawłowice, within Pszczyna County, Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 23 km (14 mi) south-west of Pszczyna and 46 km (29 mi) south-west of the regional capital Katowice.
The village was first mentioned in a Latin document of Diocese of Wrocław called Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1305 as item in Peregrini villa debent esse XXIII) mansi.[2][3] The creation of the village was a part of a larger settlement campaign taking place in the late 13th century on the territory of what will be later known as Upper Silesia.
