Gmina Puńsk, Rural administrative district in Sejny County, northeastern Poland
Gmina Puńsk is a rural administrative district in Sejny County located in northeastern Poland along the Lithuanian border. The area contains several villages with predominantly agricultural land and open countryside.
The region was settled in ancient times and later developed as a Baltic cultural landscape. Lithuanian religious traditions were established through historical decrees and continue to shape the area.
The area maintains a strong Lithuanian presence in everyday life. The local community speaks Lithuanian and keeps traditions alive through family customs and village practices.
The municipal center is located in Puńsk village, surrounded by scattered farmhouses and fields. Being a rural area, it is quite remote and requires patience when exploring the dispersed settlements.
The area hosts one of Poland's oldest Lithuanian minority communities with roots going back centuries. Visitors can experience a slice of Baltic culture that remains uncommon in the broader European context.
