Ostrzeszów, Municipality in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland.

Ostrzeszów serves as the administrative center of Ostrzeszów County, situated 81 miles southeast of Poznań and 17 miles southeast of Ostrów Wielkopolski.

The settlement existed before Poland adopted Christianity in 966, with King Casimir III constructing a castle, defensive walls, and Gothic church in the 14th century.

The town contains several architectural structures from medieval times, including a preserved Gothic church of the Assumption of Mary and remnants of defense walls.

The municipality spans 187.5 square kilometers and connects to major cities through road networks, with Wrocław 80 kilometers away and Poznań 160 kilometers distant.

During World War II, the town housed Stalag XXI-A, which transformed into Oflag XXI-C in 1943, holding 1130 Norwegian officers under German occupation.
