Lipinki

Lipinki is a picturesque village in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, within the Biskupiec municipality, known for its rich history dating back to the 14th century. Its strategic location is highlighted by its railway connection between Toruń and Olsztyn, as well as its proximity to the border with the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The village served as the seat of the Lipinki district authorities from 1954 to 1961, and during World War II, many of its residents fought for Poland. The Church of St. Apostles Peter and Paul, an example of Gothic architecture with Baroque elements, was built in 1339. Its interior is adorned with numerous historical artifacts, including a late Baroque main altar and unique finds from the 17th and 18th centuries. Lipinki is also home to a vibrant cultural community, featuring the Children's Circus Group "Heca," founded in 1996, which has gained recognition at national and international festivals. The Lipinki Primary School, operating since the partitions of Poland, has borne the name of Julian Tuwim since 2004. Another notable landmark is the local natural monument—a small-leaved linden tree named "Lipinianka-Julianka," with a circumference of 295 cm. In Lipinki, one can trace historical transformations and experience strong community bonds, making it a noteworthy destination in the region.
