Sulejki [suˈlɛi̯ki] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Świętajno, within Olecko County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.[1] It is located on the northern and eastern shore of Lake Świętajno in the region of Masuria.
History
[edit]The origins of the village date back to 1550, when Jakub Dąbrowski bought land to establish a village.[2] The village historically had two equivalent Polish names, Sulejki and Dąbrowskie, the latter of which was derived from the last name of its founder.[2] As of 1600, the population was solely Polish.[2]
Siegfried Lenz's book of short stories "So zärtlich war Suleyken" refers to a fictitious village of the same name (as mentioned in a postscript in the same book).[3]
