The Lords of Schildau are mentioned for the first time in 1281. A Schulze for the village is mentioned for the first time in 1299. In 1371 the place is mentioned as Schildow . The first church in the village is documented in 1318. Until 1727 the village and the Schildau estate were subject to the von Zedlitz family . The construction of a castle is documented for 1603. After the fighting and looting in the Thirty Years' War , the castle was rebuilt in 1667.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Schildau and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . In 1818 it came to the Schönau district . In 1874, Schildau District No. 2 was formed from the rural community of Schildau, the manor district of the same name and the castle .

The king himself had his summer residence in the neighboring Erdmannsdorf Castle , his brother Prince Wilhelm in the neighboring Fischbach Castle . Schildau Castle remained in the possession of the royal family until 1908.

In 1845 the village consisted of a castle, a Catholic church, a Catholic and Protestant church, two outbuildings and another 70 houses. In the same year the village had 428 inhabitants, 28 of them Catholic. In 1867, Schildau received a station on the railway line between the Breslau Freiburg railway station – Görlitz with a direct rail connection to Hirschberg.

After the district of Schönau was released in 1932, the Schildau district became part of the Hirschberg district in the Giant Mountains . In 1933 there were 561 inhabitants in Schildau, in 1939 there were 572. The last landowner in Schildau was Consul Dr. Kurt Effenberg.

As a result of the Second World War, the previously German Schildau fell under Polish administration in 1945. It was initially renamed Szydłów and subsequently assigned to the Silesian Voivodeship. A short time later, the name was changed to Ostrzeszów . In 1946 it was renamed Sarbiewo again , until Wojanów was chosen as a permanent place name shortly afterwards . In 1950 Wojanów came to the Wroclaw Voivodeship. In 1999 Wojanów came to the Powiat Jeleniogórski ( Jelenia Góra County ).
