It was first mentioned as Nemodlin in a 1224 deed and received town privileges in 1283. Originally a part of the Duchy of Opole, after the death of Duke Bolko I Niemodlin became the capital of a duchy in his own right from 1313 to 1382. When the Opole line of the Piast dynasty became extinct in 1532, various noble families like the House of Zierotin and the Prazma (German Praschmas) held the estate (also known as Falkenberg) until the 1940s,[2] leaving a Renaissance castle, built about 1600.

gollark: Those don't appear to exist on the Discord side of this bridge.
gollark: Is anyone working on having postmarketOS available as a Project Treble "generic system image" thing? UBPorts apparently has one, and it could be really interesting as it would let it run on basically any recent device.
