In the village is the (Greek Catholic] church of St. Michael the Archangel, an unorganized school, and a fund for the poor, founded by Rev. Dyzma Nowotny, the former Roman Catholic priest in Muzylowice, confirmed by an 1841 provincial directive. The purpose of the fund is to support the poor. Its capital consists of 50 zloty in bonds. This village was founded by the Muzylo family. After it died out in Muzyla, in Podolia province, in the 15th century, the property went to the king and was attached to the Jaworow starostwo. In 1604 Stanislaw Stadnicki of Zmigrod bequeathed to the Jesuits of Lwow his estates of Muzylowice, Podluby, and others (see Arch. Bernard. we Lwowie, vol. 1 41, p. 322). After the abolition of the Jesuit congregations the Austrian government took over the village and founded a German settlement on its land, Muschelowitz. There is a large, ancient brick castle there.
