Matzdorf Castle

The village of Matzdorf was first mentioned in 1409 as Mathiasdorf . In 1466 a scrap wood church with three bells was built in the village.

Matzdorf Castle was established in 1790 and a school in the village in 1836. In 1845 there was a Protestant church, a Protestant school, a castle, a distillery and another 36 houses in the village. In the same year, 422 people lived in Matzdorf, 165 of them Protestant and 7 Jewish. In 1869 there were 418 people in Matzdorf. In 1874 the Matzdorf district was founded. The first head of office was the manor owner Oscar von Rothkirch. Between 1874 and 1906 Johann Dzierzon lived in Matzdorf, where he continued his bee research.

In 1933 355 people lived in Matzdorf, in 1939 again 338 people. Until 1945 the village belonged to the Kreuzburg OS district

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