Stójków [ˈstui̯kuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lądek-Zdrój, within Kłodzko County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]

On 20 August 1946, the village was destroyed by an extremely intense tornado. The European Severe Storms Laboratory officially rated the tornado F3 on the Fujita scale, however, an academically peer-reviewed, published paper in 2017 rated the tornado F3/F4.[2]
