history
Goldbach was founded in 1834 by Leopold von Hochberg , the builder of Waldstein Castle . It was parish to the parish church of St. Peter and Paul in Reinerz and belonged to the Prussian district of Glatz . From 1874 it formed the Friedersdorf district together with the rural communities of Friedersdorf and Rome . It gained importance through the glass grinding shop founded by the Rohrbach brothers , which developed into a successful crystal glass factory. Because of its location on the rocky foothills of the Heuscheuergebirge, which were called "Goldbacher Switzerland", it developed into a popular excursion and holiday destination at the beginning of the 20th century. The large quarries in the vicinity were also of economic importance. As a result of the Second World War , Goldbach fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Złotno . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . 1975-1998 Złotno belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship ( Waldenburg ). It is parish of the Church of St. John the Baptist in Szczytna.
