history
The town of Wartenburg was located on the site of today's Barczewko at the beginning of the 14th century . This was destroyed by the Lithuanians in the winter of 1353/54. The city was rebuilt a little further east and the village of Altwartenburg was built on the old site of the city. The first documentary mention comes from February 5, 1369. The hand festival was on July 9, 1376 by Bishop Heinrich III. Sorboma renewed. During the equestrian war between the Teutonic Order and Poland from 1519 to 1521 , the place was destroyed. The parish church of St. Catherine was consecrated in 1582. In 1893 the church was rebuilt with romanized forms. The place was destroyed again in 1656 during the Second Northern War .
Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Alt Wartenburg belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Alt Wartenburg, 540 people voted to stay with East Prussia, 80 votes went to Poland.
After the Second World War the village became part of Poland.
