Długołęka

Długołęka is a residential settlement in the Lower Silesian region, situated about 13 kilometers northeast of Wrocław and serving as the administrative center of its municipality. The area consists mainly of rural homes and farmland connected by local roads.

The village began in the 13th century under the Piast dynasty and later came under Bohemian, Prussian, and German rule. The area experienced major changes during World War II before returning to Polish administration in 1945.

The settlement preserves traditional Polish rural architecture with simple homes and farmsteads that characterize village life. The municipal administration building serves as a gathering place where locals conduct civic matters.

The settlement has train connections to Wrocław, Jelcz-Laskowice, and Oleśnica that make commuting to larger cities possible. The train station is centrally located and serves as a key transport point for both visitors and residents.

During World War II a Reich Labour Service camp operated here, leaving a mark on the settlement's development. This period remains part of the local historical memory and has shaped how the place is understood today.
