Grabowiec [ɡraˈbɔvjɛt͡s] (German: Buchholz) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Recz, within Choszczno County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) east of Recz, 17 km (11 mi) north-east of Choszczno, and 71 km (44 mi) east of the regional capital Szczecin.

The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.
