Stara Rudna [ˈstara ˈrudna] (German: Alt Raudten) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Rudna, within Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] Prior to 1945 it was in Germany.
It lies approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) north-east of Lubin, and 67 kilometres (42 mi) north-west of the regional capital Wrocław. The village has a population of 140.
The place, originally called Ruda, may had developed out of an old Slavic castle and a church built in approximately 1100 by Piotr Włostowic of Dunin, though no documents are saved.
Christian Knorr von Rosenroth, a Christian Hebraist, was born in Alt Raudten in 1631.
