Raszowa [raˈʂɔva] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lubin, within Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]

History

The village was first mentioned in Old Polish as Rasowa in a 1267 deed, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland.

During World War II, the Germans operated a forced labor subcamp of the Stalag VIII-A prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[2]

From 1975–1998 it was located in the former Legnica Voivodeship.
