Gmina Świdnica, Administrative district in Świdnica County, Poland.
Gmina Świdnica is a rural municipality in Lower Silesian Voivodeship spread across several villages and farmland in southwestern Poland. The administrative area is run from its own center and contains numerous smaller settlements distributed throughout the countryside.
The municipality was created following Poland's 1998 local government reforms and has been a key part of Świdnica County's administration since then. This reorganization established the current division between the city and its surrounding rural territory.
The area maintains sister city relationships with towns across Western Europe, which influence how residents connect with the broader continent. These partnerships bring cultural exchange and joint initiatives that residents can experience in their daily communities.
The administrative center operates separately from the city of Świdnica and manages services for residents across scattered villages. Visitors should expect rural infrastructure that is typically spread out rather than concentrated in one place.
Though sharing the name with the city of Świdnica, this municipality excludes the urban territory while completely surrounding it. This spatial arrangement makes it a geographic oddity within the county's administrative structure.
