Barczewo, Historic municipality in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland

The town spreads across 320 square kilometers of northern Polish terrain, encompassing both urban settlements and rural communities at 129 meters above sea level.

Established in 1323 and granted city rights in 1364, Barczewo joined the Prussian Confederation in 1440 before integrating into the Kingdom of Poland in 1466.

The Feliks Nowowiejski Museum, located in the composer's family residence within the Old Town, preserves the musical heritage of this Polish cultural figure.

The municipality connects to the regional capital Olsztyn through National Road 16 and regular train services, offering transportation options for residents and visitors.

Gothic brick St. Anne Church stands among preserved sections of medieval castle ruins, representing the architectural legacy of the 14th century settlement.
