Dolna ([ˈdɔlna], additional name in German: Dollna) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Leśnica, within Strzelce County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland.

History

The oldest known mention of the village comes from 1302, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. From 1871 to 1945 it was part of Germany. In 1936, during a massive campaign of renaming of placenames, the Nazis changed its name to Niederkirch to remove traces of Polish origin, and from 1940 to 1943 they operated a forced labour camp for Jews in the village.

Sights

There is a Gothic church of Saints Peter and Paul and a mass grave of Polish insurgents from 1921 in the village.
