Łabędnik [waˈbɛndɲik] (German: Groß Schwansfeld)[1] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Bartoszyce, within Bartoszyce County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, close to the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia.[2] It lies approximately 14 km (9 mi) south-east of Bartoszyce and 55 km (34 mi) north-east of the regional capital Olsztyn. It is located in the historic region of Natangia, near the border with Warmia.[3]
In 1686, the village was purchased by Royal-Polish Lieutenant General Friedrich von der Groeben.[3] An ornate tent of a Turkish pasha seized during the Battle of Vienna of 1683 under the command of King John III Sobieski was kept at the estate.[3]
