Nowoszów


Nowoszów is an abandoned Market town in the administrative district of Gmina Iłowa, within Żagań County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland. It lies approximately south-east of Iłowa, south of Żagań, and south of Zielona Góra.
Founded in the 13th century, the small Town was destroyed in 1366 by the Lusatian League when the Archbishop of Breslau decided to establish a Staple for Woad. The League was fined a high repentance, but the City of Görlitz was able to maintain its monopoly on Woadtrade.
Prior to 1945 it was in Germany.
