Oporów

Oporów, historically known as Opperau, is a district in Wrocław's southwestern Fabryczna borough, stretching along the Ślęza River. The village was first mentioned in records in 1201, when it belonged to Lubiąż Abbey (Leubus), before later passing to the Wrocław Cathedral Chapter. After becoming part of Prussia in 1742 and being incorporated into Wrocław in 1951, the character of the area was shaped above all by the construction of a large housing estate in the east. For visitors, the old village center on the main street offers a special glimpse into the past, where the half-timbered house on the Blaurock hereditary farm, an architectural highlight, preserves the historic fabric of the former village.
