Wolw
Wołów
in the
Lower Silesian Voivodship
of southern
Poland
was founded in 1288. The name is probably derived from the Polish word
wł
, which means
bull
. The oldest known seal of the town dates from 1473 and already shows a bull, as do all later seals. Until 1675 Wołów was a residence of the
Piast
Dukes of
Legnica
-
Brzeg
-Wołw (Liegnitz-Brieg-Wohlau). For centuries the nearby Cistercian abbey of Lubiąż (Leubus) was a cultural centre of
Lower Silesia
.
