history
The village, known as Linkehnen until 1946, with its estate, brickworks and forestry was first mentioned in 1353. In the 18th century, the estate belonged to the descendants of the mayor of Kneiphof , Königsberg , Carl Droste vom Fisch (who presumably descended from the Westphalian noble family Droste zu Hülshoff ), then the Prussian noble family Knobloch (noble family) , called von Droste. 1874, the place in the newly formed was District Stark Mountain (Russian: Krasny Bor) incorporated, which existed until 1945 and the county Wehlau in the administrative district of Konigsberg the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. In 1910, Linkehnen had 130 inhabitants.
On September 30, 1928, Linkehnen gave up its independence when it merged with the village of Gauleden (now in Russian: Tumanowka), the domain Gauleden and the manor village of Kapkeim (Wischnjowoje) to form the new rural community Gauleden.
In 1945 Linkehnen was assigned to northern East Prussia as a consequence of the war in the Soviet Union and in 1946 was given the Russian name "Wessyoly". In 1945 the village "moved" from the Wehlau district to the newly created Gwardeisk district ( Tapiau district ) and was incorporated into the Saretschenski selski soviet (Saretschje village soviet (Pregelswalde) ). Today Wessjoly is due to a structural and administrative reform with its 19 inhabitants (status: October 14, 2010) as a "settlement" (Russian: possjolok) characterized place within the Oserkowskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Oserki (Groß Lindenau) ).

Until 1945, Linkehnen, with its almost exclusively Protestant population, was parish in the parish of the Starkenberg Church (today in Russian: Krasny Bor). It belonged to the church district Wehlau (Snamensk) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today Wessjoly is in the catchment area of the newly established Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Gwardeisk (Tapiau) , a branch congregation of the Resurrection Church in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) in the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
