Godziesze Wielkie is a village in Kalisz County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Godziesze Wielkie.[1] It lies approximately 14km (09miles) south-east of Kalisz and 1120NaN0 south-east of the regional capital Poznań.
In 2002, a forest was planted near the village in memory of victims of the 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Over 5,000 trees were planted in the clearing after the fire.[2]
