Widawa, Łódź Voivodeship, Village center in Łask County, Poland

Located in the Szczercowska Valley along the Nieciecza River, Widawa stands 22 kilometers southwest of Łask and 53 kilometers from Łódź.

King Władysław II Jagiełło granted town rights to Widawa in 1388, which remained effective until 1870 when the settlement returned to village status.

The Baroque church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, established within a Bernardine monastery in 1638, represents the main religious structure in Widawa.

The village intersects with regional road 481 connecting Łask and Wieluń, and road 480 linking Sieradz with national route 74 in Szczerców.

Before World War II, Widawa maintained a population of 800 Jewish residents, constituting one-third of the total inhabitants at that time.
