Koźle, Historical quarter in Kędzierzyn-Koźle, Poland

The district lies at the meeting point of Kłodnica and Oder rivers, featuring fortification remnants and a medieval chateau within its boundaries.

First documented in 1104, Koźle developed from a border fortress to become the capital of a ducal principality under the Piast dynasty from 1281 to 1355.

The establishment of the Monastery of the Order of Friars Minor in 1431 by Duke Konrad VII marked a period of religious and educational growth.

The quarter contains multiple railway stations and connects to major roads, providing transportation links throughout the Opole Voivodeship region of Poland.

Frederick II transformed the area into a military stronghold that successfully defended against Austrian forces during the Seven Years' War conflicts.
