Mściwojów [mɕt͡ɕiˈvɔjuf] (German: Profen), pronounced Mshchivóyuv, is a village in Jawor County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Mściwojów. 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.
It lies approximately 7 km (4 mi) east of Jawor, and 55 km (34 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
