history

Church of the Queen of the Rosary

The village of Olbendorf probably originated in the second half of the 13th century. It was owned by the Bishops of Breslau and administratively belonged to Strehlen in the Duchy of Schweidnitz . The village church was first mentioned in 1302. In 1539 the Reformation was introduced in the village .

Between 1688 and 1707 the church was given to the Catholics for a short time. At the beginning of the 18th century, the population shrank many times, so that in 1739 only six families lived in the village. In 1741 the church burned down. All church records were destroyed in the fire. After the First Silesian War in 1742, Olbendorf and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . In 1755 a school house was built.

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Olbendorf belonged to the district of Strehlen in the administrative district of Breslau from 1816 . Until the 20th century, the village was divided into three parts: Upper, Middle and Niederolbendorf. All in all, there was an evangelical parish church, an evangelical school, a brickworks, a distillery, an outbuilding, a brewery and 197 other houses in all three districts. In the same year, 1059 people lived in Olbendorf, 184 of them Catholic. In 1874 Olbendorf came to the newly formed district of Koppitz, which included the places Mittel Olbendorf, Nieder Olbendorf and Ober Olbendorf and the manor district of Olbendorf. In 1885 Olbendorf had 961 inhabitants.

In 1928 the localities Niederolbendorf, Mittelolbendorf and Oberolberndorf were officially merged into a rural community. In 1933 and 1939, 910 people lived in Olbendorf. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the district of Strehlen .

As a result of the Second World War, Olbendorf came under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia. It was subsequently renamed Gnojna and joined the Wroclaw Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. From 1945 to 1954 it formed the Gmina Gnojna. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Brzeski ( Brieg district ).

Attractions

  • The Roman Catholic Church of the Queen of the Rosary (Polish Kościół Matki Boskiej Różańcowej ) was first mentioned in 1302. In 1722 the church was rebuilt because of the risk of collapse. From the Reformation to the transition to Poland in 1945, it served as a Protestant church. After that she was again a Catholic and consecrated Mary Rosary Queen. The main altar with bas-reliefs Crucifixion and Resurrection as well as the pulpit and the baptismal font date from the first half of the 19th century. The bas-relief of Christ with St. Thomas and the Apostles from the beginning of the 16th century is now in the National Museum in Wroclaw . The former bell tower with a baroque dome in half-timbered construction was destroyed in 1945. The bell tower was simply rebuilt with a tent roof. The church building has been a listed building since 1968.
  • The former palace park was laid out as a baroque park. Olbendorf Castle was destroyed in 1945. The park has been a listed building since 1981.
