Piaseczno [pjaˈsɛt͡ʂnɔ] (German Pätzig) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Trzcińsko-Zdrój, within Gryfino County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 7 kilometres (4 mi) south of Trzcińsko-Zdrój, 40 km (25 mi) south of Gryfino, and 57 km (35 mi) south of the regional capital Szczecin.
