Złotogłowice is a village in the Nysa district, in the Nysa municipality. Złotogłowice is mentioned in the year 1300 as Jacobi Villa, which means "James's Village" – this name presumably derives from one of the locators of the village. Złotogłowice is an example of a Friderician village, developed as a result of German colonization carried out by Frederick II immediately after the Silesian Wars in the 18th century. In exchange for military merits, fertile land along with a plot, usually taking the form of a rectangle, intended for residential and farm buildings, was granted. Until the mid-19th century, most households were erected in wooden and half-timbered techniques, after which – due to numerous legal regulations in Prussia – multi-story, brick houses with adjoining farm buildings began to be built. Many houses have preserved interesting stucco motifs to this day (e.g., putti, ornaments, decorative cornices). An example of residential rural architecture is the palace marked with the number 174, which in the past was referred to as "Hof Kinne". Among the monuments of the village, the Church of St. Catherine from the early 20th century deserves special distinction.
