Łowkowice, Kluczbork County

Łowkowice [wɔfkɔˈvit͡sɛ] is a village in Kluczbork County in Opole Voivodeship, Poland.

While part of the Prussian Province of Silesia as Lowkowitz, the village was the place of birth and death of the Polish apiarist Jan Dzierżon (1811–1906), the discoverer of parthenogenesis among bees.

After Germany's defeat in World War II in 1945, the town was part of the region that became part of Poland under the terms of the Potsdam Agreement.

Poland renamed the nearby town of Rychbach Dzierżoniów in Dzierżon's honor.
