Wałcz, Administrative center in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

Located in northwestern Poland, Wałcz extends along the banks of Raduń and Zamkowe lakes within the Wałcz Lake District region.

The settlement received city rights in 1303 and remained under German administration until 1945, when it was integrated into post-war Poland.

The Jesuit College, established in the 1660s, transformed Wałcz into an educational center that influenced the intellectual development of the region.

The city maintains Olympic training facilities for track and field sports, with specialized equipment for kayaking activities on the local lakes.

The urban territory encompasses 41 percent agricultural land and 17 percent forest area, creating a balanced mix of developed and natural spaces.
