Sejny, Historic municipality in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland.
Sejny is a town nestled between lakes along the Marycha river, located near where Poland, Lithuania, and Belarus meet. The place is shaped by its monastery, synagogue, and buildings that show different periods of its past.
The town was first recorded in 1385 during a raid by the Teutonic Knights. It grew from a forest settlement into a regional center that thrived under Polish-Lithuanian rule.
The Dominican monastery and white synagogue stand as reminders of communities that once lived side by side in this place. These buildings reflect how Polish, Lithuanian, and Jewish traditions shaped the town's character and daily life.
The town connects directly to Suwałki by road, making it simple to reach from larger nearby cities. You will find basic services and facilities here to support a comfortable visit.
Lithuanian citizens make up a notably large share of the population, creating a unique meeting point of different ethnic and cultural communities. This proximity to the Lithuanian border shapes daily life and the town's identity.
