Gładysze ( German Schlodien ) is a village with 314 inhabitants (as of 2006) in Poland . It belongs to the municipality of Wilczęta in the Braniewski powiat , Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
geography
The village lies between Młynary ( German Mühlhausen ) and Orneta ( German Wormditt ), 14 kilometers away from both cities, in a slightly hilly landscape that belongs to the Baltic ridge on the Passarge river .
history
The place was mentioned in 1267 as Schloydien. The Prussian name refers to "sklaids" and indicates a smooth, slippery, watery soil texture. The aristocratic family Dohna acquired the place in 1643 from the Prussian family Werner in order to round off their lands. At that time there was already a modest one-story mansion on the western outskirts. Today only the remains of the palace complex can be found there.
lock
The Castle Schlodien was until 1945 a manor of the von Dohna- Schlodien in Schlodien. It has been in ruins since the fire on July 17, 1986.
