Małujowice is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Skarbimierz, within Brzeg County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4km (02miles) north-west of Skarbimierz, 80NaN0 west of Brzeg, and 440NaN0 north-west of the regional capital Opole.
Małujowice houses the landmark Gothic Saint James the Greater church, which contains elaborate 14th-century frescoes. It is designated a Historic Monument of Poland.[2]
The village was first mentioned in 1288 under the Latinized form Malewicz, and then in 1315 as Maluyewicz, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. The name of the village is of Polish origin and comes from the Polish word mały, which means "small", referring to its size.[3] [4]
On 10 April 1741, it was the site of a battle between Prussia and Austria, won by the Prussians.
