Z這toryja is in Z這toryja county, 10 km SW of Legnica. German name:
Goldberg in Schlesien. The old settlement, which received city rights in
1211, derived its name from goldsoap found here. It was devastated by the
Mongols in 1241. It is an industrial center since the 17th century. Here
met the French under MacDonald and Russians under Wittgenstein 27
May 1813 for a battle.
