Szyce [ˈʂɨt͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wielka Wieś, within Kraków County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[1]

History

In 1234, Duke Bolesław V the Chaste from the Piast dynasty granted the village to a man named Klemens, who then passed it to his wife Racława.[2] By 1238 it passed to the monastery in Staniątki.[2]

Following the Partitions of Poland, from 1815, it was located in the Russian Partition of Poland. In 1827 Szyce had a population of 82.[2] During the January Uprising, on 4 February and 7 May 1863, battles between Polish insurgents and Russian troops took place in Szyce.[3]

Following World War I, Poland regained independence and control of the village. In 1924 the second Polish folk high school was established in Szyce.[4]
