Pęcław [ˈpɛnt͡swaf] is a village in Głogów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Pęcław. It lies approximately 12 km (7 mi) east of Głogów, and 80 km (50 mi) north-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
Prior to 1945 the village was in Germany and known as Puschlau. 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.
