History

The village was first mentioned in a Latin document of Diocese of Wrocław called Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1305 as Siffridi villa.[1] It belonged then to the Duchy of Teschen, formed in 1290, since 1327 a fee of Kingdom of Bohemia.

Until 1918, SEIBERSDORF (earlier Nieder-Seibersdorf) was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), in the Freistadt district, one of the 8 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Austrian Silesia.[2]

A post-office was opened in 1869.

There is a Catholic Assumption of Mary Church in the village.
