Tuczno [ˈtut͡ʂnɔ] (German: Tütz) is a town in Wałcz County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship in northwestern Poland, with 2,014 inhabitants (2004).
Before 1945 the area was part of Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
It is the home of the restored Tuczno Castle, which is a popular place for conferences.
In Tuczno there is the first street in Poland named Michael Jackson Street (1-2.08.2009).[1]
