Wiechlice

Wiechlice [vjɛˈxlit͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Szprotawa, within Żagań County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland.

During the Napoleonic Wars a temporary hospital for French troops was created in the local palace.

During World War I, Germany operated a prisoner-of-war camp in the village, whose prisoners were the English, French, Belgians, Italians, Serbs, Romanians and Russians.

In 1918–1919, Polish insurgents of the Greater Poland uprising were imprisoned at the camp.

After the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II in 1945, the village became again part of Poland.
