Bezławki ([bɛˈzwafki]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Reszel, within Kętrzyn County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[3] It lies approximately 10 km (6 mi) south-east of Reszel, 11 km (7 mi) south-west of Kętrzyn, and 58 km (36 mi) north-east of the regional capital Olsztyn.
A watermill probably existed in the village already in 1356. The Teutonic Knights built a small Ordensburg or castle at the site in the 14th century, as a defense against Lithuanian raids. The castle, located on a hill and easily accessible only from the north, was in 1583 converted into an Evangelical church. Polish-language services were held in the church.[4] A church tower was built in 1726–28. The interior of the church was completely refurnished in 1884.[5]
