Bartošovce (Бартошовцї, Hungarian: Bartosfalva) is a village and municipality in Bardejov District in the Prešov Region of north-east Slovakia.
The first written mention of the village dates back to 1408 . Because of the fertile soil and the proximity of Bardejov, landowners settled here, who built a majer with cattle breeding and cultivation of agricultural crops and flour production. There were two mills here - the upper one and the lower one. This is also why the village is still divided into Vyšný mlyn, Nižný mlyn and Podstavinec . Bartošovce have a rich history. They transformed themselves through many names, such as Bartosfaula - up to the present. Shortly after the establishment of the village, a paper mill was established here. In the 17th century, a tile factory was established here together with a brick factory, famous in the wide area of eastern Austria-Hungary. Together with the village of Kurima formed the main centers of the Bardejov district until the 19th century.
Around the year 1600, a Roman Catholic church was built here, which has been preserved here in the same form after many reconstructions (the last one in 2010) and is admired by many tourists. Two streams flow through the village - Sekčov and Vieska.)
For history prior to this time, the Principality of Halych existed in (modern) southern Poland with a western Provincial city of Przemyśl, located just north of mountains near Bartosovce. The history of the Halych Principality Principality of Haluych history ends at the Dmitriy Liubart 1340–1349 when Lithuanian authority begins and Halych authority ends. Slave trade and other local information may be available from a non-western European (non-Hungarian)perspective by further investigation, along this line. See M Laser History on Halych Principality (Slave Trade) circa 13th century.
