Pępice is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Skarbimierz, within Brzeg County, Opole Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5km (03miles) south-west of Skarbimierz, 90NaN0 south-west of Brzeg, and 420NaN0 north-west of the regional capital Opole.
The village dates back to the medieval Kingdom of Poland and was first mentioned in the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis chronicle from the late 13th-early 14th century. Between 1871 and 1945 it was part of Germany. During World War II, the Germans established a subcamp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp, whose prisoners were mainly Poles from Warsaw and Kraków.[2]
There is a historic church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Pępice.
