Ciechanów [t͡ɕeˈxanuf] 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 the village was in Germany and known as Züchen. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and were replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.
