Sławniowice

Sławniowice [swavɲɔˈvit͡sɛ] (German: Groß Kunzendorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Głuchołazy, within Nysa County, Opole Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.

Until 1742 it and the Czech village of Velké Kunětice were a single settlement; from 1996 to 2007 it was a border crossing point.

In 1603–15, a peasant revolt took place in the village, one of a series of anti-feudal uprisings against harsh impositions by local landlords under the bishop.

[5] In 1742, after the Silesian Wars, what is now Sławniowice became part of the Kingdom of Prussia and was divided from what is now Velké Kunětice, which remained in Austrian Silesia, now in the Czech Republic.

[7] A staffed border crossing point was established there in February 1996,[8] operating until both Poland and the Czech Republic became part of the Schengen Area in 2007.
