Opactwo [ɔˈpat​͡stfɔ] (en Abbey ) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Sieciechów, within Kozienice County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.[1]

It lies on the national road 48, approximately 2 kilometres (1 mi) north-east of Sieciechów, 15 km (9 mi) east of Kozienice, and 91 km (57 mi) south-east of Warsaw.
