Wałcz County

Wałcz County is an administrative district in northwestern Poland within West Pomeranian Voivodeship that contains five municipalities with different characters. The territory includes the town of Wałcz as the main urban center, three additional towns, and rural communities spread across the landscape.

This territory changed control between Polish and Brandenburg rulers in medieval times before becoming part of Prussia in the 18th century. It returned to Polish administration in 1945 after World War II and has remained part of Poland since then.

The region carries names and symbols rooted in local heritage, visible in the everyday details of buildings and town layouts across its communities. You will notice distinct traditions in how public spaces are used and celebrated through local festivals that reflect the identity of each municipality.

The district can be accessed through local roads connecting its five municipalities, each with its own town center and character. Allow time to travel between locations since they are spread across the rural landscape rather than clustered together.

The five municipalities have different administrative statuses including two larger towns and several smaller urban or rural settlements, creating a varied landscape across the district. This mix means you will encounter different rhythms and building styles as you move between the communities.
