Walim, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Rural settlement in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Located 15 kilometers southeast of Wałbrzych, Walim extends along the banks of the Walimka river surrounded by forested mountains and valleys.

Originally documented in 1305 as Waltheri villa, the village developed into a textile industry center with weekly linen markets established around 1765.

The parish church of St. Barbara, constructed in 1548, displays architectural elements from multiple periods and reflects the village's religious transformations.

The village maintains a population of 1,996 residents and operates under the postal code 58-320 within the Central European Time Zone.

During World War II, the village became part of Project Riese, with a local weaving mill serving as a labor camp facility.
