Turzany [tuˈʐanɨ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wińsko, within Wołów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. It lies approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) east of Wińsko, 16 km (10 mi) north-east of Wołów, and 41 km (25 mi) north-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
