Olecko, Administrative center in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland

Olecko stands at the convergence of the Lega River and Great Olecko Lake, forming an administrative hub for the surrounding Masurian region.

Albert, Duke of Prussia, established the settlement in 1560 as Marggrabowa, which later transformed into a significant regional center during the Kingdom of Prussia.

The Regional Cultural Center organizes monthly folklore celebrations and the annual Milk and Honey Festival, highlighting traditional dairy production methods from the region.

The town functions as the seat of Olecko County, managing administrative services for 34,215 residents across four distinct municipal districts.

The urban development combines educational facilities, including specialized schools for deaf children, with natural elements such as lakeside recreational areas.
