History
In the 14th century, Wojkówka was owned by Henryk Sobieński, owner of Sobień Castle near Sanok . In 1397, Klemens Moskarzewski purchased the villages near Odrzykoń Castle : Wojkówka and Bratkówka, from Henryk Sobieński . Then, in the 15th century, Wojkówka belonged to the Sapieha family. From 1484, Wojkówka was owned by the Szebieński family. The village was ruled by the following village heads: Jan (1443), Sądek (1417-1420), Szczebiot (1443), Piotr (1450), and Mikołaj (1497-1499).
In 1512, as a result of the family division, Wojkówka became the owner of Marcin Kamieniecki , the chamberlain of Sanok, and later his son Jan Kamieniecki (born 1524 at Kamieniec Castle in Odrzykoń – died February 5, 1560), whose tombstone is located at the Franciscan Monastery in Krosno. In 1536, its leaseholder was a nobleman, Baltazar Dąbrowski . From the Kamienicki family, Wojkówka passed into the possession of the Skotnicki family, and then, in the 17th century, into the ownership of the Tarnowski family. Kazimierz Aleksander Tarnowski married Teresa Firlejówna, the heiress of Wojkówka in the mid-17th century.
Franciszka, daughter of Count Tarnowski, married Klemens Ustrzycki , the castellan of Sanok, in 1688 in Łęki. From them, Wojkówka passed into the possession of the Górski family. Since 1757, Wojkówka has been owned by Ignacy Górski de Przybow , a Sandomierz clerk and owner of neighboring Ustrobna. His wife, Elżbieta Cieszanowska, had 15 children. After him, Wojkówka was inherited by his son, Feliks Górski , who died of a stroke during a fire in the manor stables in 1839. After Feliks's death, his heirs sold the village to the Wiktor family.
In the village there is a brick chapel dedicated to St. Sophia.
