Żmigród, Municipality of Lower Silesia, Poland

Żmigród stands on the Barycz River at 150 meters elevation, stretching across southwestern Poland, 40 kilometers north of the regional capital Wrocław.

The settlement's first documentation appears in papal records from 1155 under the name Zunigrod, receiving official town status under German law in 1253.

The town preserves multiple historical periods through its architecture, from medieval foundations to post-war reconstruction efforts following significant damage in 1945.

The central location between Wrocław and Poznań positions Żmigród as a strategic transport hub with direct rail connections to major Polish cities.

Żmigród houses Poland's only railway test track facility, where new train technologies and railway equipment undergo extensive testing procedures.
