Wrocisławice [vrɔt​͡ɕiswaˈvit​͡sɛ] is a village in Lower Silesia, in the administrative district of Gmina Środa Śląska within Środa Śląska County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. Its German name was Obsendorf (and that of Środa Śląska was Neumarkt).

The history of the village most likely goes back to the 13th century (the neighbouring village of Bukówek, Ger. Buchenwald, was founded in 1282). A parish church already existed in the village in the Middle Ages. The present church of St Lawrence was built at the beginning of the 17th century and features an 18th-century altar painting of St Lawrence with a splendid polichrome wooden frame and a baroque painting of St Nicolaus.
