Recz

Recz [rɛt͡ʂ] (German: Reetz)[2] is a town in Choszczno County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland, with a population of 2,963 as of 2010.

The settlement dates back to the Early Middle Ages, and in the 10th century it became part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I. Recz was first mentioned in 1269.

In 1402, the Luxembourgs reached an agreement with Poland in Kraków.

Poland was to buy and re-incorporate Recz and its surroundings,[4] but eventually the Luxembourgs sold the town to the Teutonic Order, whose rule lasted until 1454.

During the Polish-Swedish War, in 1657 the town was captured by Poles.
