Zebrzydowa [zɛbʐɨˈdɔva] (German: Siegersdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Nowogrodziec, within Bolesławiec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] 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 4 km (2 mi) north of Nowogrodziec, 14 km (9 mi) west of Bolesławiec, and 117 km (73 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
