Zebrzydów [zɛˈbʐɨduf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Marcinowice, within Świdnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]

It lies approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) east of Świdnica, and 41 kilometres (25 mi) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.

History

[edit]

When it was part of medieval Piast-ruled Poland, Zebrzydów was mentioned in 1193 as an endowment of the Canons Regular Monastery in Wrocław.[2] Later on, it also passed to Bohemia, Hungary, Prussia and Germany, before it became again part of Poland after Germany's defeat in World War II in 1945.
