Żabin [ˈʐabin] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Banie Mazurskie, within Gołdap County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, close to the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia.[1] It is located in Masuria. It lies approximately 11 km (7 mi) north of Banie Mazurskie, 17 km (11 mi) west of Gołdap, and 119 km (74 mi) north-east of the regional capital Olsztyn.
Polish, Lithuanian and German-language services were held in the church, as of the 18th century.[2] The first three pastors of the local parish were from the Polish noble family of Wierciński, all appointed in the 16th century.[2]
There are two cemeteries—one German, one Russian—from World War I located in the town.
