Strzelno [ˈstʂɛlnɔ] (German: Schützenhain) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Pieńsk, within Zgorzelec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland, close to the German border.[1] It lies approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) east of Pieńsk, 15 km (9 mi) north-east of Zgorzelec, and 130 km (81 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
