Sejny, Historic municipality in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland.

The town of Sejny sits between lakes on the Marycha river, near the intersection of Polish, Lithuanian, and Belarusian borders at coordinates 54°10'N 23°35'E.

First documented in 1385 during a German knights raid, Sejny developed from a forest settlement into a significant regional center under the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

The Dominican monastery complex and white synagogue building represent the multicultural heritage of Polish, Lithuanian, and Jewish communities that shaped the town's development.

The municipality covers 4.5 square kilometers and maintains direct road connections to Suwałki, serving as an administrative center for approximately 5,300 residents.

Twenty percent of Sejny County's population consists of Lithuanian nationals, making it the largest concentration of Lithuanian minority citizens in Poland.
