Brzeg, Administrative center in Opole Voivodeship, Poland
The town stands on the left bank of the Oder River at an elevation of 150 meters, extending across 14.7 square kilometers of land.
Established as a trading settlement in 1234, Brzeg received Magdeburg town rights in 1248 and developed into a fortified city by the late 13th century.
The local architecture reflects centuries of Polish, German, and Silesian influences, with numerous buildings dating from medieval and Renaissance periods throughout the town center.
Brzeg maintains direct railway connections to major cities including Wrocław and Opole, with regular regional trains serving the main station on Pierwszego Maja Street.
The town derives its name from the Polish word brzeg meaning shore, and was historically documented in Latin as Civitas Altae Ripae.
