Książnica is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Dzierżoniów, within Dzierżoniów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 12km (07miles) north-east of Dzierżoniów and 470NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
In the final stages of World War II, on 27 January 1945, a German-organized death march of Allied prisoners of war from the Stalag Luft 7 POW camp stopped in the village.[2]
