Lewin Kłodzki

Lewin Kłodzki extends across the Sudetes mountains near the Czech border, functioning as the central administration point for its surrounding municipality.

The settlement originated in the 10th century with a timber watchtower on Gródek Hill, monitoring trade routes before receiving town privileges in the 14th century.

The village developed into a weaving center during the 16th century, attracting craftsmen from numerous regions of Central Europe to establish their workshops.

Located 27 kilometers west of Kłodzko and 96 kilometers southwest of Wrocław, the village serves approximately 880 residents with municipal services.

The village contains remnants of an ancient stone watchtower on Homole Hills, which generated local narratives about a non-existent fortified castle.
