History

When it was part of medieval Piast-ruled Poland, Zebrzydów was mentioned in 1193 as an endowment of the Canons Regular Monastery in Wrocław.[2] Later on, it also passed to Bohemia, Hungary, Prussia and Germany, before it became again part of Poland after Germany's defeat in World War II in 1945.
