Fischau was first mentioned in 1257 as the seat of a commandry. At one time the village probably had a castle. In 1510, Fischau had 49.5 włókas (889 hectares) of land. In 1643, the residents erected a Lutheran church, which was replaced by a new church in 1706, which in turn was replaced in 1886. Until 1772 the village was located in what was known as Royal Prussia (also known as Polish Prussia) in the Kingdom of [[Poland|Poland]]. The First Partition of Poland in 1772 resulted in the creation of a new province in 1773, called [[West Prussia|West Prussia]], in which the village was located. Fischau was situated in the district (Kreis) of Marienburg until the end of World War I, when it came under the jurisdiction of the German province of East Prussia. In 2013 Fischau (now Fiszewo) was a village in the administrative district of Gmina Gronowo Elbląskie, within Elbląg County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. | Fischau was first mentioned in 1257 as the seat of a commandry.
