History

Romanesque Saints John the Baptist and Catherine church, the oldest church in Świerzawa

It was initially a Polish stronghold, possibly besieged during the first Mongol invasion of Poland in 1241.[2] It was granted town rights by Duke Bolko I the Strict in 1296,[2] when it was part of the Duchy of Jawor within fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. In 1426, the town was captured and devastated by the Hussites.[2] The town was affected by fires in 1487 and 1639.[2] The local church was taken by Protestants during the Reformation and then restored to the Catholics in 1637.[2] During the Thirty Years' War, in 1640, it was the site of a Swedish victory against the Austrians.[2]
