history

Founded Rostken, parish Klaussen in 1483.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Rostken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Rostken, 300 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the urban and rural municipality Orzysz (Arys) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
