Ciechanów [t͡ɕeˈxanuf] (German: Züchen) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Jemielno, within Góra County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 10 km (6 mi) north-west of Jemielno, 13 km (8 mi) south-west of Góra, and 66 km (41 mi) north-west of the regional capital Wrocław.

Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
