Lubomia is a village and the seat of Gmina Lubomia, Wodzisław County, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland near the Czech border. It lies approximately 12km (07miles) west of Wodzisław Śląski and 560NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Katowice.
Within its borders, it contains the Wielikąt Nature Reserve, an Important Bird Area, as well as part of the Natura 2000 Network.
The earliest signs of settlement in the area come from the neolithic period. Between the 7th and 9th Centuries, there appeared to exist a village, a gord and other traces of the Golensizi tribe. The tribe abandoned the gord around 874-855.[2]
Lubomia was first mentioned in 1303, was owned by the Reiswitz Noble Family from 1572 onwards, then got sold to Prince Karl Franz Leopold Bernhard Lichnowsky in 1730.
