Mrągowo, Resort municipality in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland
Mrągowo is a town in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship set across roughly 15 square kilometers in a lake-filled region. The settlement sits surrounded by water bodies, with Lake Czos marking the northeastern edge of the area.
The settlement began in 1348 when the Teutonic Knights built a wooden fortress called Sensburg in this location. The order granted it town rights in 1444, marking a turning point in its early development.
The town took its current name in 1947 to honor Krzysztof Celestyn Mrongovius, a scholar who worked to preserve Polish language and culture in this region. This choice reflects how the community has shaped its identity around this linguistic heritage.
When exploring, keep in mind that the area is defined by water features and multiple lakes surround the locality. This makes for good opportunities to spend time outdoors, especially along the shorelines around town.
The town's coat of arms features a bear drawn from a local story about farmers defending their livestock against predators. This symbol points to the resilience and unity that have marked the community.
