Lubawa, Urban municipality in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland.
Lubawa is an urban center in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship positioned on the Sandela River. The municipality sits surrounded by forest reserves and the Drwęca valley landscape, creating a setting where industrial development has taken root alongside natural surroundings.
The settlement first appeared in written records during 1216 through papal documentation and later served as the seat of the Culm bishops from 1257 onward. This religious position anchored its development as a regional administrative hub.
The Gothic St. Anne's Church, constructed in 1330, represents the architectural and religious heritage that shaped the identity of this Polish municipality.
