Turew is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kościan, within Kościan County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 13km (08miles) east of Kościan and 380NaN0 south of the regional capital Poznań.

There is an 18th-century manor house in Turew, which until the Second World War belonged to the aristocratic Dryja-Chłapowski family. Among the most notable residents of the house was Dezydery Chłapowski, a Napoleonic officer and a baron of the then French Empire.
