Pieńsk, Administrative center in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland
The town extends along the east bank of the Lusatian Neisse river, forming a natural border between Poland and Germany at 197 meters elevation.
First documented in 965, Pieńsk originated as a stronghold for the Bieżuńczanie tribe and later became part of the early Polish state under King Bolesław I.
The local cemetery contains a memorial dedicated to 42 Polish soldiers who perished in the military hospital during World War II.
The municipality provides direct transportation links to Zgorzelec, located 11 kilometers south, and regional connections to the city of Wrocław.
The name Pieńsk derives from the Slavic word 'pień,' meaning trunk, reflecting the forestry heritage of this border region.
