Piasty Wielkie [ˈpjastɨ ˈvjɛlkʲɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Górowo Iławeckie, within Bartoszyce County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, close to the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia.[1] It lies approximately 3 km (2 mi) east of Górowo Iławeckie, 18 km (11 mi) west of Bartoszyce, and 55 km (34 mi) north of the regional capital Olsztyn.
History
[edit]The name derives back to the Old Prussian term "paustre" for wilderness and was first mentioned in 1414 as a location of a mill and a settlement of four free Old Prussians in the region of Natangia with 27 cultivated and 3 desolate "Haken", a square measure of the Teutonic Knights.
In 1454, King Casimir IV Jagiellon incorporated the region into the Kingdom of Poland.[2] After the subsequent Thirteen Years' War (1454–1466), it was a part of Poland as a fief held by the Teutonic Order.[3]
In 1858 the manor was bought by Bethel Henry Strousberg, a railway pioneer who fell into bankruptcy in 1875.[4]
From 1945 to 1958 the village was administratively located in the Iławka County in the Masurian District and Olsztyn Voivodeship.[5]
