Dobrzyca (German: Döberitzfelde) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wałcz, within Wałcz County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 16km (10miles) north of Wałcz and 1220NaN0 east of the regional capital Szczecin.
The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century. Dobrzyca was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Wałcz County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.[2]
During World War II, on 5–8 February 1945, it was the site of a battle, in which Polish troops defeated the Germans.
