Strzeżenice [stʂɛʐɛˈnit͡sɛ] (Template:Lang-de) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Będzino, within Koszalin County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) north-east of Będzino, 11 km (7 mi) north-west of Koszalin, and 133 km (83 mi) north-east of the regional capital Szczecin.
Before 1945 the village was part of Germany and known as Gross Streitz. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.
