history

Stanislaus Kostka Church

In 1405 the village is first mentioned as Nowa villa . In 1409 the village was mentioned as Newedorff .

In 1798 a wooden Protestant church is built in Neudorf. In 1814 a school was established in the village. In 1838 the village church burns down. In 1845 there was a Catholic church, a castle, a distillery, an outbuilding and another 42 houses in the village. In the same year, 388 people lived in Neudorf, 167 of them Catholic. In 1874 the Neudorf district was founded. In 1878 a new stone Protestant church in the neo-Gothic style was built in the village.

In 1933 504 people lived in Neudorf, and in 1939 again 461 people. Until 1945 the village belonged to the Kreuzburg OS district. On January 18, 1945 the village was conquered by the Red Army . The castle was burned down by the Red Army soldiers. More than a dozen of the people who remained in the village were shot.

As a result of the Second World War, Neudorf, like most of Silesia, fell under Polish administration in 1945 . The place was subsequently renamed Ciecierzyn and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Kluczborski ( Kreuzburg district ).
