Leszno

Leszno lies on the Leszno Lakeland in western Poland, where low, cultivated terrain is broken by small lakes and wooded patches. The town grew under the Leszczyński family and became an important refuge for Protestant communities in the 16th and 17th centuries. Czech educator Jan Amos Comenius lived and worked here from 1628 until 1656, linking Leszno closely with the history of the Unity of the Brethren. Its compact centre retains the Market Square and Town Hall, while speedway racing remains central to local identity through Unia Leszno.
