Otwock County, Administrative district in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland.
Otwock County is an administrative district in Masovian Voivodeship comprising three main towns: Otwock, Józefów, and Karczew, alongside five rural municipalities. The area combines urban centers with countryside settlements spread across its territory.
The district was created in 1999 following major governmental reforms in Poland that reshaped the administrative structure of the eastern regions. These changes fundamentally altered local governance and territorial boundaries.
The region displays traditional wooden houses built in the Świdermajer style, which features decorated porches and details that blend naturally with the surroundings. This architectural approach shapes the character of many settlements and shows how local communities have historically connected with nature.
The area maintains convenient connections to Warsaw in the northwest, making it suitable for people who live here while working in the capital. Its position between urban and rural zones makes it accessible for various types of visitors.
The Swierk district houses Poland's first nuclear reactor, Ewa, which began operations in 1958. The research reactor Maria followed in 1974, making this location a significant center for nuclear research.
