Puńsk, Administrative village in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland
Located just 5 kilometers from the Lithuanian border, Puńsk stretches across northeastern Poland at an elevation of 168 meters above sea level.
The settlement traces back to ancient Baltic Yotvingians, until the Teutonic Knights arrived in the 13th century and changed the regional population structure.
The village maintains strong Lithuanian traditions with two dedicated museums, the Juozas Vaina Ethnographic Museum and the Punsk History Museum displaying regional artifacts.
The March 11 Complex of Lithuanian schools provides education in the Lithuanian language, serving the needs of the local population of 1,352 residents.
The village name appears on Mars, as scientists designated a crater on the red planet as Puńsk in 1976.
