Twardawa

Twardawa [tfarˈdava] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Głogówek, within Prudnik County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland, close to the Czech border.

The village was first mentioned in a document of Bishop of Wrocław Wawrzyniec from 1224, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland.

During World War II, the Germans operated the E255 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.

[3] After the defeat of Germany in the war, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland and its historic name was restored.

There is a train station in Twardawa, and the Polish National road 40 also passes through the village.
