history

St. Matthew Church

The village was first mentioned in 1284 as Grisow . In 1368 the place was mentioned as Grysow .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Greisau and most of Silesia fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Greisau belonged to the district of Neisse in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Catholic church, a Catholic school and 100 houses in the village. In the same year 564 people lived in Greisau, all of them Catholic. In 1865 the village had 21 farmers, 18 gardeners and 32 cottagers. In 1874 the administrative district Lindewiese was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Greisau and Lindewiese and the manor districts Greisau and Lindewiese.

In 1933 Greisau had 383 inhabitants. In the same year the district of Lindewiese was dissolved and Greisau was assigned to the district of Oppersdorf . In 1939 358 people lived in the village. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Neisse .

As a result of the Second World War, Greisau fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . The place was subsequently renamed Gryżów 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 ).
