Święcko (pronounced as /pl/) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kłodzko, within Kłodzko County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 9km (06miles) north-west of Kłodzko and 770NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
In the Middle Ages the area was at various times under Bohemian and Polish rule, and later on it also fell to Prussia and Germany. In 1945, following Germany's defeat in World War II, the region became again part of Poland.
Voivodeship road 381 (road of regional importance) runs through the village, and its intersection with Voivodeship road 386 is located just south of the village.
