Duża Wólka [ˈduʐa ˈvulka] (German: Groß Schwein) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Grębocice, within Polkowice County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) south-west of Grębocice, 10 kilometres (6 mi) north-east of Polkowice, and 80 kilometres (50 mi) north-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.
