Pielgrzymów

Pielgrzymów [pjɛlˈɡʐɨmuf] is a village located in southwestern Poland, within Głubczyce County, Opole Voivodeship, near the border with the Czech Republic.

By the implementation of the Oder-Neisse border, the Silesian part fell under Polish rule.

In both villages, Germans were expelled for new Polish and Czech settlers to take their place.

[7] During this time, several Czech citizens were unable to access the area, and the dilapidated chapel located some 30 meters behind the border.
