Jaryszów ([jaˈrɨʂuf]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Ujazd, within Strzelce County, Opole Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) north of Ujazd, 11 km (7 mi) south-east of Strzelce Opolskie, and 41 km (25 mi) south-east of the regional capital Opole.
The oldest known mention of Jaryszów dates back to 1265, when it was part of the Piast-ruled fragmented Poland.[2] Its name comes from the Old Polish male name Jaromir, Jarosław or Jarysz.[2] Between 1871 and 1945 it was part of Germany. In the final stages of World War II, in January 1945, the Germans executed a group of prisoners of the Auschwitz concentration camp in the village.[3]
Jaryszów's landmark is the medieval church of the Assumption.
