Karczew, Municipality in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland

Karczew extends across 29 square kilometers along the right bank of the Vistula River, 23 kilometers southeast of Warsaw within Otwock County.

The settlement received its town rights from King Sigismund I the Old in 1548, marking its establishment as an official town in the Masovian Voivodeship.

The Baroque Church of Saint Vitus, constructed between 1732 and 1737 by architect Jakub Fontana, stands as a central religious monument in the town.

The municipality maintains regular ferry services to Gassy since 2014, improving transportation connections for residents and visitors across the Vistula River.

The town borders the protected Masovian Landscape Park, combining urban development with natural preservation areas across its territory.
