history
Kynau arose around the Kynsburg , which Duke Bolko I built to secure the border with Bohemia . Together with Dittmannsdorf , Reussendorf , Seifersdorf, Hausdorf, Tannhausen, Jauernig and Schenkendorf it belonged to the castle district of Kynsburg. The castle district was a ducal fiefdom and initially owned by Burgrave Kilian von Haugwitz , followed by Peczko Eycke and then Messrs. Schoff . After Kynau, together with the Duchy of Schweidnitz, fell to the Crown of Bohemia in 1368, the castle and castle district were pledged by the royal governors. These included the Lords von Reibnitz , von Mühlheim and Hermann von Czettritz († 1454), who was able to prevent Hussite attacks. In 1535 Kynau belonged to Christoph von Hochberg ( Hoberg ) at Fürstenstein Castle , from 1545–1567 to Matthias von Logau, who was followed by his son Georg von Logau. From 1596–1601 Prince Michael of Wallachia was the owner of Kynau and from 1607 Count Johann Georg von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen , who lived on the Kynsburg. His descendants or the Rochow sidelines owned Kynau until 1679. After numerous changes of ownership, the von Liers men followed in 1754, who moved their residence to Dittmannsdorf.
After the First Silesian War in 1742, Kynau and almost all of Silesia fell to Prussia . After the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and from 1816 was incorporated into the Waldenburg district, with which it remained connected until 1945. In 1819 the rule of Kynau was foreclosed. In 1840 it was owned by Count Friedrich Burghard, from 1855 it belonged to the von Zedlitz-Neukirch family. Since 1874, the rural community of Kynau was the seat of the administrative district of the same name, which also included the rural communities of Bärsdorf and Schenkendorf as well as the manor district of Kynau. The von Zedlitz-Neukirch family tried to buy back the goods of the old Kynau rulership and tried to expand the castle. With the construction of the Schlesiertalsperre 1912–1914, Kynau and the Kynastburg became a popular excursion destination, so that tourism gained economic importance. In 1937 Schenkendorf ( Myśięcin ) was incorporated into Kynau. In 1939 there were 645 inhabitants.
As a result of the Second World War , Kynau fell to Poland in 1945, like almost all of Silesia, and was renamed Zagórze Śląskie . The German population was expelled. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . In 1954 it became a town-like settlement and in 1961 a town. From 1975 to 1998 Zagórze Śląskie was part of the Wałbrzych Voivodeship .
