Chodzież, County capital in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland
Chodzież is a county capital in Greater Poland Voivodeship featuring lakes, forests, and moraine hills across its territory. The town's landscape is shaped by water bodies and rolling terrain that define its physical character and structure.
The town received Magdeburg rights from King Władysław II Jagiello in 1434, establishing it as a regional administrative center. This legal status made it a key point for the area's development over the following centuries.
The National Children's Song Festival has shaped the town's cultural identity since 1991, drawing young performers from across the region each year. This annual gathering shows how music traditions remain central to local community life.
The town is accessible via direct road connections and lies roughly 65 kilometers south of Poznań, making it reachable for both work and leisure travel. Its central location in the region allows easy day trips to neighboring areas.
From the mid-1800s onward, the town became known for porcelain production after German entrepreneurs set up factories in the area. This craft tradition shaped the local economy and urban character for many decades.
