Chojnów, Administrative center in Legnica County, Poland

The town stands at 170 meters above sea level and extends along the banks of the Skora River in southwestern Poland.

The settlement received official town privileges in 1333 from Duke Bolesław III and served as the residence of the Duchy of Haynau until 1453.

The municipal library and amphitheater near the Town Hall provide educational resources and entertainment spaces for the local population of 13,002 residents.

Located 18 kilometers west of Legnica, the town maintains railroad connections to Bolesławiec and benefits from proximity to the A4 motorway.

A statue of a weaver in the market square commemorates the town's industrial heritage, particularly its historical cloth production and textile manufacturing traditions.
