'''Batowo''' {{IPAc-pl|b|a|'|t|o|w|o}} (formerly {{langx|de|Batow}}) is a [[village]] in the administrative district of [[Gmina Lipiany]], within [[Pyrzyce County]], [[West Pomeranian Voivodeship]], in north-western Poland.<ref name="TERYT">{{cite web |url=http://www.stat.gov.pl/broker/access/prefile/listPreFiles.jspa |title=Central Statistical Office (GUS) - TERYT (National Register of Territorial Land Apportionment Journal) |date=2008-06-01 |language=Polish}}</ref> It lies approximately {{convert|7|km|mi|0}} north of [[Lipiany]], {{convert|10|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} south-east of [[Pyrzyce]], and {{convert|48|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} south-east of the regional capital [[Szczecin]].
Before 1945 the area belonged to [[Germany]] as part of ''Landkreis Soldin'' in the [[Free State of Prussia|Prussian]] [[Province of Brandenburg]]. During the [[Thirty Years' War]] Batowo was so badly destroyed, that during the restoration it was moved to another place.<ref>http://www.batowo.pl/batowo.html{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> For more history of the region, see [[Neumark]].
