About
Krzywa Góra, located in the Opole Voivodeship of Poland, is notable for its medieval motte-and-bailey castle site from the 14th century. This defensive structure highlights the region's historical significance during the late Post-Classical Period, under Piast-ruled Poland. The village's name, derived from Old Polish, reflects its deep-rooted cultural heritage. Throughout its history, Krzywa Góra experienced several political changes, including annexation by Prussia in the 18th century and incorporation into Germany from 1871 until 1945. Following World War II, the village was restored to Poland. Today, the site offers valuable insights into medieval fortification methods and the region's dynamic historical landscape.
