Siedlęcin [ɕɛdˈlɛnt͡ɕin] (German: Boberröhrsdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Jeżów Sudecki, within Jelenia Góra County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 km (3 mi) west of Jeżów Sudecki, 6 km (4 mi) north-west of Jelenia Góra, and 98 km (61 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
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.
The most important historical monument in Siedlęcin is the 14th century Siedlęcin Tower.
