Klecza [ˈklɛt͡ʂa] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wleń, within Lwówek Śląski County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) west of Wleń, 13 kilometres (8 mi) south of Lwówek Śląski, and 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.

Prior to 1945 the village was in Germany and named Hußdorf. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and were replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.
