Sępopol, Medieval town in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland

Sępopol stands at the intersection of agricultural lands and residential zones, with two historic entrance gates marking its traditional boundaries.

The settlement received town rights in 1351 as Schiffenburg after the Teutonic Knights established control over the Old Prussian territory.

The town maintains connections to both Polish and German heritage through its architecture, street layouts, and traditional celebrations.

Located 14 kilometers east of Bartoszyce and 63 kilometers northeast of Olsztyn, Sępopol serves as the administrative center of its municipality.

The town survived numerous conflicts while positioned on a major trade route between Warsaw and Königsberg, influencing its development across centuries.
