Widawa, Łódź Voivodeship

Widawa is a village in Łódź Voivodeship situated in the Szczercowska Valley along the Nieciecza River. The settlement is crossed by regional roads that connect nearby towns and larger regional centers.

King Władysław II Jagiello granted town rights to this settlement in 1388, a status it maintained for nearly 500 years. The change came in 1870 when it reverted to village status following political and administrative shifts.

The Baroque church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross shapes the village center and reflects religious traditions that continue to influence daily life here.

The village is accessible via two regional roads that connect it to surrounding areas and larger towns. The flat terrain and quiet setting make it easy to walk around and explore at your own pace.

Before World War II, roughly 800 Jewish residents lived here and formed a significant part of the community. This part of the village's story remains woven into local memory and identity.
