Olecko Historical Chamber

The Olecko Historical Chamber, located in the “Mazury Garbate” Regional Cultural Centre, tells the story of the town founded in 1560 by Duke Albrecht Hohenzollern as Marggrabowa. Documents, maps, postcards and mementos recall, among other things, the Polish-speaking Masurian Protestants, the destruction of the First World War, the 1920 plebiscite, the period when the town was called Treuburg, the evacuation in 1944 and the beginnings of Polish Olecko after 1945.

We prepared an audio guide that explains the successive exhibits and lets visitors tour the Chamber at their own pace. It is available in Polish, English, German and Russian, and a mobile app can also be used in the Chamber.
