St. Mary Visitation

Wayside chapel

A church is mentioned in the village in 1226. The village was mentioned as Stinavia in 1235 . In 1236 the place was given to the bishop in Breslau by the Opole castelan Zbroslaus. In 1243 this donation was confirmed again. At the same time, the Breslau bishop was allowed to appoint a bailiff in town. In 1243 a Vogt was installed in the place and in 1260 the place received Neumarkter law , which made it a market town. In 1282 the place is mentioned as Kamena .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Steinau OS and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . In 1780 a fire destroyed the village and only one house survived the flames.

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Steinau OS belonged from 1816 to the district Neustadt OS in the administrative district of Opole . In 1845 the place split into two areas, the village of Steinau and the Städtel . In 1845 there were 105 houses and 841 Catholic residents in the town with its market town. The village in turn had 90 houses and 611 inhabitants, one of whom was Protestant. In the same year there was a castle, a Catholic parish church, a Catholic school, an outbuilding, a brewery, a distillery, a pottery and three water mills in the village. In addition, the place counted seven weavers, eleven potters, 40 craftsmen and 20 traders. In 1865 the Stadtel Steinau had ten large farm burghers, eight middle bourgeois, 50 petty bourgeoisie and 67 vacant houses. 17 farmers, 18 gardeners and 54 cottagers lived in the village of Steinau. In 1874 the district of Schweinsdorf was founded, which consisted of the rural communities of Schweinsdorf, Steinau Dorf and Steinau Städtel and the Schweinsdorf estate. In 1885 the Städtel Steinau had 1145 and the village Steinau 701 inhabitants.

In 1933 Steinau OS had 1,337 inhabitants. On July 31, 1936, the district was relocated from Schweinsdorf to Steinau OS. In 1939, 1594 people lived in Steinau OS. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Neustadt OS

As a result of the Second World War, Steinau OS fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . The place was subsequently renamed Ścinawa Mała and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1946 the German population was expelled. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Nyski ( Neisse district ).

In 2005 the village had 754 inhabitants. In 2010 a new community center and a new fire station were opened in the village. In 2018, the ring in the town center was renovated with funding from the EU. The square received new paving and plants. The grand opening of the redesigned square took place on September 30, 2018.
