Prostki, Rural village in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland

The village of Prostki extends across the northern Polish landscape, functioning as the administrative center of Gmina Prostki in Elk County.

In 1656, Polish military forces led by Wincenty Korwin Gosiewski defeated Swedish and Brandenburg armies in the Battle of Prostki near the village.

Traditional farming activities shape the daily life of Prostki residents, with seasonal celebrations and local markets maintaining Polish rural customs.

The village connects to regional transportation networks and lies 15 kilometers south of Elk city, providing access to additional services and amenities.

Two labor camps of the Reich Labour Service operated in Prostki during World War II, marking a significant period in the village's development.
