Mrągowo, Resort municipality in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland

Mrągowo extends across an area of 14.8 square kilometers surrounded by lakes, including Lake Czos at the northeastern edge of the settlement.

The settlement originated in 1348 when the Teutonic Knights constructed a wooden fortress named Sensburg, receiving official town rights from Grand Master Konrad von Erlichshausen in 1444.

The town changed its name in 1947 to honor Krzysztof Celestyn Mrongovius, who dedicated his life to preserving the Polish language in the region.

District heating supplies 70 percent of thermal energy to 247 buildings across the municipality, including educational institutions, medical facilities, and administrative structures.

The municipal coat of arms depicts a bear from a local tale about farmers who protected their livestock, representing the determination of the community.
