Krzywa Góra is a small village in south-western Poland, in Gmina Pokój, Namysłów County, Opole Voivodeship. It dates back to the Middle Ages when the area was part of Piast Poland. The name is Polish (older forms were Krziwogura and Krziwogóra). In the 14th century a motte-and-bailey castle stood here, and today its site is an archaeological location. In the 18th century the village was annexed by Prussia, and from 1871 to 1945 it was part of Germany. After World War II it became part of Poland again.
