Środa Śląska County

Środa Śląska County is an administrative district in Lower Silesian Voivodeship positioned between two major cities in southwestern Poland. It comprises multiple municipalities organized under a unified regional administration with Środa Śląska as the county center.

The territory received its current administrative form during Polish local government reforms in 1999. This reorganization established the modern boundaries and designated Środa Śląska as the county seat.

The Regional Museum displays medieval objects and artifacts discovered in the town, offering insight into how people lived centuries ago. Visitors can see items that belonged to the region's past inhabitants and understand their daily lives through these finds.

The county is well connected by railway lines and road networks that link its municipalities together and to surrounding regions. Visitors can easily travel between different parts of the district and reach larger nearby cities.

The region still operates under legal customs that trace back to medieval privileges known as Magdeburg rights. These ancient rules were adapted locally as Środa law and continue to shape how local governance works today.
