Dobrzeń Wielki, Administrative village in Opole County, Poland
Dobrzeń Wielki is an administrative village in Opole County situated at the crossing of major regional roads. The Oder River runs along its southern edge and shapes the area's geographical position.
The village received its first written mention in 1228 when linked to the relocation of a Norbertine Monastery from Rybnik. This early record connects it to the region's religious history.
