Chełm (Polish pronunciation: [xɛwm]; German: Hulm) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Malczyce, within Środa Śląska County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]

It lies approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) south of Malczyce, 9 kilometres (6 mi) west of Środa Śląska, and 41 kilometres (25 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.

History[edit]

The area became part of the emerging Polish state in the 10th century. Centuries later it passed to Bohemia (Czechia), Prussia and Germany. It became again part of Poland following Germany's defeat in World War II in 1945.

Transport[edit]

The Voivodeship road 345 (road of regional importance) passes through Chełm, and the Polish A4 motorway runs nearby, southwest of the village.
