Lwówek, Municipal center in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland

Located 51 kilometers west of Poznań, Lwówek extends across 3.15 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 100 meters above sea level.

King Władysław II Jagiełło granted town rights to Lwówek in 1406, with the settlement originally named Lwów before changing its name in the mid-15th century.

The town features a Gothic Church of the Assumption, a Baroque palace, and a market square surrounded by historic townhouses representing regional architecture.

The municipality functions as an administrative center for nine thousand residents, connecting multiple villages through a network of local transportation routes.

During World War II, German occupiers renamed the town to Kirschneustadt in 1943, following its initial designation as Neustadt bei Pinne.
