history

The place once Lingwarowen , after 1818 still called Lengwarowen , was a small village with a large estate until 1945.

In 1874, the place was Amtsdorf, giving its name to an administrative district, which - between 1939 and 1945 called "Berglingen District" - belonged to the Darkehmen district ("Angerapp district" from 1939 to 1945) in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

The one-story manor house with a half - hip roof was built in 1886, and the associated area last comprised 498 hectares. The last owners were members of the Doering family .

The manor district Lingwarowen counted 188 inhabitants in 1910. On September 30, 1928 the manor district Lingwarowen was converted into the rural community Lingwarowen. The population was 176 in 1925, 156 in 1933 and 157 in 1939.

On June 3, 1938, Lingwarowen was renamed "Berglingen" for political and ideological reasons in order to defend itself against foreign-sounding place names.

In 1945, the village came in consequence of the war to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Łęgwarowo". It now belongs to the Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) Rudziszki (Raudischken , 1938 to 1945 Raudingen) and is a place in the network of the urban and rural municipality Węgorzewo in the powiat Węgorzewski , until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship and since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

The former manor house survived the war and is in good shape. Today it is used as an administration building. A small building near the manor with the floor plan of a Greek cross and a central tower structure was a bath house and is now used as a chicken coop. On the edge of the manor park near the entrance there are still remnants of the manor cemetery.
