Dobroszyce ([dɔbrɔˈʂɘt͡sɛ]) (German: Juliusburg) is a village in Oleśnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Dobroszyce.
Between 1663 and 1928 the town had town rights.
During World War II, from 1940 to 1942, the German administration operated the Oflag VIII-C prisoner-of-war camp for French, Belgian and Dutch officers and orderlies in the village.[2] Some Dutch POWs managed to escape from the camp.[2]
