Świecko, Border village in western Lubusz Voivodeship, Poland

The village of Świecko stands near the Polish-German border, six kilometers south of Słubice, with a population of 183 residents.

In 1354, Frankfurt Oder authorities purchased the settlement, known as Sweyt, incorporating it into the city treasury property districts.

The village landscape reflects centuries of Polish and German influences, marking a point where two distinct European cultures intersect at the Oder River.

The National Road 2, connecting to German A12 autobahn, passes through Świecko, making it a principal transport route between both countries.

Border controls at Świecko crossing ceased in December 2007 when Poland entered the Schengen Area, transforming local movement patterns.
