Janowice Duże [janɔˈvit͡sɛ ˈduʐɛ] (German: Groß Jänowitz) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Krotoszyce, within Legnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) south-west of Legnica, and 66 kilometres (41 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
