Lewin Kłodzki [ˈlɛvin ˈkwɔt͡ski] is a village (former city) in the Sudetes, in Kłodzko County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland, near the border with the Czech Republic.

However, historians agree that first traces of human settlement date back to the 10th century, during the foundation of the Bohemian state under the Přemyslid dynasty.

The lone tower was not a usual border keep with a strong military garrison, but a rather insignificant checkpoint guarding the trade route which passed through Lewin.

It was a popular spot for holidaymakers who visited the surrounding Sudetes and enjoyed the rural hill-like scenery.

The local German population was expelled and new Polish arrivals settled from the Eastern Borderlands (so-called "Kresy") that were annexed by the Soviet Union.
