Stradomia Wierzchnia (German: Ober Stradam) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Syców, within Oleśnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[1]

It lies approximately 8km (05miles) south-west of Syców, 19km (12miles) north-east of Oleśnica, and 45km (28miles) east of the regional capital Wrocław.

History

The village was founded by German law[2] and was first recorded around 1305 as Stradano superiori, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland.[3] The first known owner was probably Walter de Stradano, witness of a document on April 28, 1310.[4] Later it was divided in 4 parts. One belonged to the Gaffron family (before 1570 to 1611), another to the Rohr family (since 1557) or the Prittwitz family (since 1611).[5] The last manor house in Stradomia Wierzchnia was built by Otto von Reinersdorf-Paczensky und Tenczin in 1866 and rebuilt by Georg von Reinersdorf-Paczensky und Tenczin in 1880.[6] After Second World War it remained unused, the roof collapsed and it was practically a ruin as of 2011.
