Wigry, Suwałki County, Rural village in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland

Located in the northeastern region of Poland, Wigry extends along the shores of Lake Wigry, surrounded by dense forests and agricultural fields.

The Camaldolese monks established their monastery in this location during the late 17th century, transforming the area into an economic center through forest resource management.

The village maintains connections to its monastic past through the preserved Baroque monastery complex, which now serves as a spiritual and architectural landmark.

Visitors can reach Wigry by taking a 10-kilometer drive east from Suwałki city, following the road that connects to the Wigry National Park entrance.

The village holds the distinction of being a former diocese seat from 1798 to 1818, before its territory transferred to the Diocese of Sejny.
