Stęszew, Municipality in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland

Stęszew is a town in Greater Poland Voivodeship that sits between three lakes and is crossed by a river running through its center. The settlement occupies a compact area shaped by water features that define its surroundings.

The town received city rights in 1370 from a Polish king and became an important point on a major trade route. This early grant of rights gave the settlement economic importance for the region.

During World War II, German occupiers renamed the town to Seenbrück while local Polish residents maintained their identity through resistance activities.

The town is easily walkable and the waterways offer opportunities for various activities. Its location between the lakes makes it a destination for nature visitors.

During a historical occupation, the town received a different name that local people never adopted. The community kept its original identity despite this renaming.
