Albertów [alˈbɛrtuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lipie, within Kłobuck County, Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 2 kilometres (1 mi) north-east of Lipie, 15 km (9 mi) north-west of Kłobuck, and 88 km (55 mi) north of the regional capital Katowice.
