Walce ([ˈvalt͡sɛ], additional name in German: Walzen)[1] is a village in Krapkowice County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[2] It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Walce.
History
[edit | edit source]The local Catholic church burned down in 1703, after which it was rebuilt and then expanded in 1805.[3] In 1885, the village along with the adjacent estate had a population of 1,427.[3]
In July 1945, the village was the site of the Walce Uprising—a rebellion of local Germans and Silesians against the Polish authorities.[4]
