Gmina Jedwabno, Administrative division in Szczytno County, Poland
Gmina Jedwabno is a rural municipality in Szczytno County within the Masovia region, comprising several village settlements spread across gently rolling countryside. The area is characterized by farmsteads, forest patches, and small village centers with churches and local buildings.
The municipality took its current form through Poland's administrative reform of 1999, which reorganized the country into regions, counties, and communes. Before this, the area had been part of different administrative structures that existed since Poland's independence in the 20th century.
The community maintains strong rural traditions where small villages follow the rhythm of farming seasons and agricultural work throughout the year. Visitors can see how this pattern shapes daily life in the scattered settlements across the region.
The municipality is best reached by car since the villages are spread across a network of country roads. Visitors should note that infrastructure is typical for rural areas, and many services are found in larger neighboring towns.
The village is historically connected to a tragic event in 1941 that deeply shaped local memory and identity. This dark chapter remains an important part of remembrance for residents and visitors today.
