It is located on the southwestern shore of Lake Skomentner (1938 to 1945 Skomantener See, also: Skomanten-See, Polish Jezioro Skomętno ).
history
The village of Kulessen (at times also written scenes ) was founded around 1539.
On May 27, 1874 after a created Prussian municipal reform in the government district Gumbinnen , Kreis Lyck the District Pissanitzen from the rural communities Czybulken, United Lasken , scenes, Loyen , Makoscheyen , Pissanitzen , Ropehlen and boiling .
On December 1, 1910, there were 46 residents in Kulessen.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kulessen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kulessen, 20 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.
In 1931, after the renaming of Pissanitzen to "Ebenfelde", the now eponymous district of Ebenfelde was reorganized and instead of the previous eight rural communities now only includes the communities Ebenfelde, Groß Lasken, Kulessen (with Czybulken), Loyen, Makoscheyen and Sieden.
In 1933 there were 53 residents in Kulessen, in 1939 Kulessen had 6 farms and 54 residents.
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Kulessen belonging to the German Empire ( East Prussia ) fell to Poland .
Due to its remote location, the village survived the war and the subsequent period completely unscathed. The resident German population, if they had not fled, was largely expelled or resettled after 1945 and, in addition to the traditional Masurian minority, replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland. The place Kulessen was renamed "Kulesze" according to the Polish phonetic formation of the place name.
From 1975 to 1998, Kulesze belonged to what was then the Suwałki Voivodeship , then joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in 1999 . Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place within the Gmina Kalinowo association .
