Geography
History

The territory became part of the emerging Polish state in the 10th century, and after the country's fragmentation into smaller provincial duchies, it formed part of the duchies of Silesia/Wrocław, Głogów and Oleśnica, ruled by the Piast dynasty until 1492. The first Sułów Castle, built by the Dukes of Oleśnica was mentioned in 1351. Later a base of robber barons, it was finally destroyed by Wrocław citizens about 1500. During the Thirty Years' War, on 28 July 1645, a battle between Swedes and Austrians was fought near the village.{{cite web|url=https://www.pomniki-przyrody.pl/?p=3829|title=Szwedzka Górka w Sułowie|website=Pomniki przyrody|language=pl|access-date=22 January 2025}} The preserved Baroque castle with gardens was erected in the late 17th century. In 1775, it was granted town rights, lost after World War II in 1945. In Polish, it was historically also known as Sulejewo, Suława and Zuława.{{cite book|author= |title=Słownik geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i innych krajów słowiańskich, Tom XI|year=1890|language=pl|location=Warszawa|page=561}}
