Woryny
Woryny [vɔˈrɨnɨ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Górowo Iławeckie, within Bartoszyce County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, close to the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia.[1]
History
On the south-west edge of the village there are traces of a settlement known as Góra Zamkowa (Castle Hill), most likely what was described in medieval documents as Woria or Wore, existing in the pre-Teutonic Knights period. The stronghold in Woryny took advantage of the defensive qualities of being situated at the top of a hill overlooking a stream. The two-part settlement is separated by a dry moat and was most likely inhabited only in one part, with farm animals kept in the second fragment.[2]
Throughout the Napoleonic Battle of Eylau in February 1807 the French generals Nicolas Dahlmann (General Colonel, Commandant des chasseur à cheval de la Garde Impériale francaise) and Jean-Joseph Ange d'Hautpoul were buried at the manor house of Worienen but later exhumed and transferred to France.[3]
