Przewóz, Żary County, Village center in Żary County, western Poland

Przewóz stands at the eastern shore of the Lusatian Neisse river, marking the border between Poland and Germany at coordinates 51°28′40″N 14°57′0″E.

The settlement gained prominence in 1449 when it became the capital of a small duchy under Jan II, who later imprisoned his brother Balthasar in the castle tower.

The village maintains connections to both Polish and German heritage due to its location, with traditional festivals celebrated throughout the calendar year.

The village contains essential services for its 850 inhabitants, including a post office with code 68-132 and direct road connections to Żary, 22 kilometers northeast.

The village railway station, established in 1895, connected Przewóz to Jankowa Żagańska through a dedicated rail line that transformed local transportation.
