Lipsk, Municipal center in Augustów County, Poland.
Lipsk is a municipal center in Augustów County in northeastern Poland, situated in a flat landscape. The area is characterized by natural surroundings and lies within a region dotted with small settlements.
The town was founded in 1580 through a privilege granted by King Stephen Báthory and gained the status of a royal town. It retained this status until the Third Partition of Poland.
The town carries names that sound different across the region's languages, such as Liepinė in Lithuanian and Липск in Russian. This linguistic diversity reflects the area's mixed heritage.
The town is most easily reached by car, as the nearest major airport lies about 70 kilometers away. The area has several lodging options, including rural guesthouses and small hotels for visitors.
During World War II, Marianna Biernacka from this town died attempting to save her pregnant daughter-in-law from German execution in 1943. Her story exemplifies courage and sacrifice during that era.
