Lubawa

Lubawa is a town in northern Poland, situated in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. It is the seat of Gmina Lubawa and a part of Iława County. The town lies within the historic region of northern Poland and serves as a local center for surrounding rural areas.

Historical records indicate that Lubawa dates to the Middle Ages, developing as a settlement under the influence of regional authorities and merchants. It received town privileges in the medieval period and was associated with the broader history of the Teutonic Order, later undergoing changes in sovereignty as the region passed under Prussian and then Polish administration in modern times.

Today Lubawa features a compact town core with a market square, a parish church, and other historic buildings. The surrounding landscape is typical of Warmian-Masurian countryside, with agricultural land and patches of woodland.

Its economy is based on small-scale services, trade, and local industries, supporting residents and the agricultural hinterland. The town is connected mainly by road, with public transport and rail connections available in nearby larger towns.

As the administrative center of Gmina Lubawa, the town maintains local governance facilities and serves as a focal point for cultural and community life in the region.
