Medieval History
[edit]Mszanowo was first mentioned in the year 1327, and was at that time referred to as "Wipsanow", in connection with a land grant by the Bishop of Chełmno, to Mikołaj of Tylice, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The land was situated between Mikołaj’s existing estate and the Drwęca and Wel rivers. In 1546, the Chełmno district transferred the village to Bishop Tideman, and eight years later, Bishop Jan Lubodzieski of Chełmno returned the village to Chełmno.[2]
