Boćwiński Młyn ( German Bodschwingken Mühle , 1938–1945 Herandstaler Mühle ) is a settlement in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the urban and rural municipality Gołdap (Goldap) in the Gołdap district.

Boćwiński Młyn is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship on the southeast bank of the Goldap (Gołdapa in Polish). It is 14 kilometers to the northeast to the district town of Gołdap (Goldap) .

The small place can be reached via a cul-de-sac that branches off the side road from Gołdap via Skocze (Skötschen , 1938–1945 Grönfleet) to Boćwinka (Bodschwingken , 1938–1945 Herandstal) shortly before Boćwinka in a westerly direction. Until 1945 there was a railway connection via the station in Bodschwingken / Herandstal on the Angerburg – Goldap railway line , which is no longer operated due to the war.

Boćwiński Młyn originally consisted of a large courtyard and a water mill . The place was connected to the municipality of Boćwinka and thus belonged to the district of Goldap in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia . The property, which was owned by the Borowski family in the 1920s , included the mill, a sawmill and 180 hectares of land. The elongated manor house - outwardly in good shape today - is a building from the 19th century. Today it is owned by Agencja Własności Rolnej Skarbu Państwa (AWRSP - State Agency for Agricultural Real Estate).

In 1938 the Bodschwingken mill was renamed Herandstaler Mühle . As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name Boćwiński Młyn . The small town became independent and is now part of the Gołdap urban and rural community in the Gołdapski powiat , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , and since then the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Ecclesiastically Bodschwingken Mühle (Herandstaler Mühle) was parish up to 1945 via the municipality of Bodschwingken (Herandstal) with its almost exclusively Protestant population in the parish of the Church of Grabowen (1938–1945 Arnswald, Grabowo in Polish). Today the Protestant parish in Gołdap is responsible. The parish church of the Catholics stood in Goldap before 1945, today a separate parish has been established in Grabowo .
