DĄBROWA

A village situated in the Opole Agglomeration, on the fringe of the Niemodlin Forests. It takes its name from the Old Polish term for a forest made up of oaks ("dęby") - "dąbrowa". Its history is closely linked to the history of the whole of Upper Silesia, together with which it changed its nationality several times. From 1945, it is within the borders of Poland. The wealthy von Mettich-Tschetschau and Hochberg families have left their mark in Dąbrowa. To the former the village owes its 17th-century Castle famous for its spiral chimneys, and to the latter its Neo-Renaissance style. Apart from the castle, noteworthy is the historic Church of St. Lawrence, erected in the 17th century, most likely on the site of a previous church dating to the 14th century. Dąbrowa is primarily famous for the event that takes place here every September - "Zamczysko". Dąbrowa Encounters with Sung Poetry.
