Cieszyny [t͡ɕeˈʂɨnɨ] (German: Finkenheide; until 1936: Tscheschen) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Jemielno, within Góra County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3 km (2 mi) north of Jemielno, 14 km (9 mi) south of Góra, and 57 km (35 mi) north-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
