Kłodawa is a town in central Poland with 6,699 inhabitants (2014). It is situated in the Greater Poland Voivodship (since 1999), having previously been in Konin Voivodship (1975–1998).
Kłodawa lies on the Rgielewka (a tributary of the Warta River). The town contains the largest operating salt mine in Poland, extracting halite and salts of potassium and magnesium.
Kłodawa was settled in the 11th century by craftsmen building the Church of St. Giles. It gained municipal rights in 1430. Much of the town was destroyed in the wars of the 17th century and World War II. It was once home to a vibrant Jewish community wiped out during the German occupation. On the outskirts there is a cemetery from the Lusatian culture.
