Jugowice [juɡɔˈvit͡sɛ] (German: Hausdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Walim, within Wałbrzych County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. "Hausdorf" in German, it was the site of a small Moravian Church Congregation (Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine.) 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.

It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) north-west of Walim, 11 kilometres (7 mi) south-east of Wałbrzych, and 62 kilometres (39 mi) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
