Recz, Medieval town in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

Recz is a small town in West Pomeranian Voivodeship situated at a key transport junction connecting regional routes. The settlement grew around a historic center and is shaped by green spaces and streams.

The settlement appeared in records in 1269 and changed hands several times, first under Bohemian rule, then under the Teutonic Order's control. This shifting history left marks on how the town developed over centuries.

The town's name derives from an old Slavic word meaning river, and this water connection still shapes how the place looks and feels today. The location near waterways has always influenced how people settled and built here.

A railway station connects the town to other places in the region and offers a way to reach it by train. Visitors should keep weather in mind, as conditions here vary considerably through the year.

A cemetery in town holds a quiet story: it contains graves whose markers were destroyed in the 20th century and were never replaced. Today, this place speaks in its own way about loss and what remains.
