Pietniczany are located by the mouth of the Winnica River to the Boh, on the so-called "Kuczman Trail" (very close to the town of Winnica). The locality was first mentioned in the description of the Winnica castle from 1543, made by diak Lev Pateyovitch Tishkovitch. Its fragment: "...W Petnyczanach a w Demydiwciach, w imieniach Miśka Stepanowycza stoit desiat czołowieka, kotoroje imienije Petnyczany aoteć jeho Stepan wysłużyw na Hospodari Jeho Myłosti za nebiszczyka Kniazia Konstantyna..." ("Ten persons live at the Pietniczany and Demidowice properties owned by Mishko Stepanovych, Pietniczany had been awarded to his father Stepan for his service to His Majesty in times of the late Prince Konstantin..."). The second certain notice about Pietniczany, dates to 1569, when Łazarz Deszkowski, son of Bohdan, chorąży of Bracław, handed over the Pietniczany properties to his uncle Semen, son of Vasyl from Obodne, Obodenski. The lack of documentation rendered impossible to state whether Mishko Stepanovitch, mentioned in the former document was ancestor of the Deszkowskis, or only the one who transferred them his rights to Pietniczany.
After the death of Semen Obodenski, who did not leave any descendants, Pietniczany passed over to the children of his brother Bohdan and Maryna Kierdey-Dziusianka, namely to Hawrył, Teodor, Józef, Wasyl, Anastazja married to Janusz Kierdey-Koziński, and Olena married to Michał Myszka-Chołoniewski. Teodor Obodeński, Master of Hunt of Bracław, having paid off his brothers and sisters, took over the entire legacy on his own, calling himself the master of Pietniczany ever after. Having married Marusza Pokalewska, they had three daughters, of whom Maria married Teodor Łasko-Woronowicki, contributing to the marriage Pietniczany as dowry. From their six children five died without leaving descendants, whereas the only one that remained alive, daughter Teofila, gave her hand together with a huge fortune, also comprising Pietniczany, to Michał Luba from Radzimin - Radzimiński. He was the head of the Bracław line of his family. With Teofila Łaskówna he left numerous descendants, of whom Michał, equire carver of Bracław, purchased or inherited from remaining heirs, all parts of Bracław properties, again collecting the whole fortune in his sole possession.
