Otmuchów, Town in Opole Voivodeship, Poland

Located between two reservoirs in the Sudeten foothills, Otmuchów spans across the banks of the Nysa Kłodzka river at 220 meters elevation.

First documented in 1155, Otmuchów received its town rights in 1347 from Bishop Przecław of Pogorzela, who established the settlement's administrative structure.

The Renaissance town hall features sgraffito decorations and contains a 1575 sundial mounted on its southeast corner, marking time for local inhabitants.

National Road 46 connects Otmuchów to major regional centers, while the local train station provides regular transportation services to neighboring cities.

The medieval castle, transformed into a Renaissance residence by Bishop Andreas von Jerin, served as a refuge for Wrocław bishops during political conflicts.
