history
The small village, named after 1820 Leginen , was incorporated into the newly established Liekeim district ( Nalikajmy in Polish ) in 1874. Until 1927 it belonged to the Friedland district , which was then renamed "Bartenstein District", and which in turn was part of the Königsberg district in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1945 southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland as a result of the war . Legienen was also affected. The village received the Polish form of the name "Leginy" and is now a village in the rural municipality of Bartoszyce ( Bartenstein ) in the powiat Bartoszycki ( Bartenstein district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
