Sulejki

Sulejki is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Świętajno, within Olecko County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.

History

The origins of the village date back to 1550, when Jakub Dąbrowski bought land to establish a village. The village historically had two equivalent Polish names, Sulejki and Dąbrowskie, the latter of which was derived from the last name of its founder. As of 1600, the population was solely Polish.
Siegfried Lenz's book of short stories "So zärtlich war Suleyken" refers to a fictitious village of the same name.
