Ellgoth is said to have been called the place before 1241 and the invasion of the Golden Horde . According to a legend, many skulls were found during the repopulation of the destroyed place, which is why the place was henceforth called Schedlau. Schedlau has been documented as a village with a church since 1379. In 1318 the village was mentioned as Schidalowicz , in 1447 as Elgot Dipoldi and in 1551 as Schedlau .

In 1533, Schedlau came into the possession of Niklas Pückler von Groditz, with whose family von Pückler the history of the place was to be closely linked in the following 400 years, until 1945. The aristocratic family's castle was built in Schedlau in 1570 and was rebuilt several times in the following years. It was also the Pücklers who introduced the Reformation to the town; In 1616, Hans von Pückler and his wife Helena von Sedlnitzky (Sedelnitzki) donated the stone Salvatorkirche instead of the old wooden church. As a result of the imperial edict of restitution of 1629, the church had to be returned to the Catholics, although the population remained largely Protestant. In 1830, 55 of the 389 inhabitants were Catholic. The church in Schedlau is still a branch of Falkenberg, the Evangelicals were parish there.

The Thirty Years War brought destruction , so that the castle was rebuilt in 1650.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Schedlau and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . In 1764 a Protestant school was founded.

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Schedlau belonged to the district of Falkenberg OS in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a castle, a Vorwerk, a Catholic church, a Protestant school, a brewery, a distillery and 71 houses. In the same year 440 people lived in Schedlau, 60 of them Catholic. In 1854 Schedlau Castle was under Count Erdmann III. rebuilt by Pückler in neo-Gothic style and retained the exterior design that existed until 1945. In 1855 there were 412 people living in the village. In 1865 the village had 1 Schulzenhof, 7 farmers, 16 gardeners and 21 cottagers. The evangelical school was attended by 95 students in the same year. In 1874 the administrative district of Schedlau was founded, which consisted of the rural communities GGroditz, Guhrau, Heidersdorf, Mullwitz and Schedlau and the manor districts of Groditz, Guhrau, Heidersdorf, Mullwitz and Schedlau. The first head of office was the manor owner, Count Pückler. In 1885 Schedlau had 286 inhabitants. In 1888 Graase was connected to the Upper Silesian railway network along the Szydłów – Lipowa Śląska railway . In 1888 Schedlau was connected to Opole with a branch line via Falkenberg .

In 1933, 417 people lived in Schedlau. In 1939 the village had 620 inhabitants. Until the end of the war in 1945 the place belonged to the district of Falkenberg OS

At the end of the Second World War, the Red Army reached Schedlau on February 7, 1945, which was not captured until March 17, after the village had been fought for five weeks and the front had run north of the village. As a result of the fighting, a chapel next to the village church was destroyed and the castle burned down, which was later demolished. Then the previously German place came under Polish administration, was renamed Szydłowiec Śląski and joined the Gmina Niemodlin. The addition Śląski (Silesian) has established itself over time to distinguish it from other places of this name. In June 1946 the remaining German population was expelled. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship . Passenger traffic on the railway line between Gracze and Szydłów ceased in 1996. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Opolski as part of Gmina Niemodlin .
