Strzelce Opolskie

Also known as Groß Strehlitz

Strzelce Opolskie (German Groß Strehlitz) is a town in the Opole Voivodeship of southern Poland, east of Opole. From 1313 it was the seat of a small Silesian Piast duchy, and it later followed Silesia under Bohemian and Habsburg rule. Prussia took it in 1742, and after 1945 it became part of Poland under its present name.
