Strzeganowice is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kąty Wrocławskie, within Wrocław County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]

History

Strzeganowice dates back to the Middle Ages. The oldest known mention of the village comes from a document from 1155.

In January 1945, in the village, the Germans carried out a mass execution of a group of prisoners during the "death march" from the subcamp in Miłoszyce to the Gross-Rosen concentration camp.[2] Some were buried alive.[2] Two mass graves were discovered in 1974 and 1978.[2]
