Legend has it that the name of the town of Włoszakowice comes from the word "hairy" or "owl". Over the centuries, especially since the 17th century, the inhabitants of Włoszakowice, due to their alleged kinship with the owl, were called "Sowijacy". This term, initially perhaps joking or pejorative, over time became a source of pride and a symbol of local identity.

There are quite a lot of sculptures by this local sculptor in the surrounding villages. Interesting local accent.
