## About

Barczewo is a town east of Olsztyn in Poland's Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. Its historic centre contains churches and traces of the town's medieval layout.

## Notes

Wartembork replaced by Barczewo in 1946. Wartenburg is highly ambiguous without the East Prussian qualifier; it must not identify an unrelated German town. Sources checked 2026-11-15: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barczewo ; https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barczewo.
