Mühlhausen

Miłomłyn, located in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, is a town with a rich history dating back to the beginning of the 14th century, when it was granted town rights by the Teutonic Knights. The town's name, formerly Liebemühl, means "mill of love" and is associated with the no longer existing Liebe River and a mill. Miłomłyn lies on the Elbląg Canal, serving as an important water hub. The town's architecture is an interesting blend of various styles: the neo-Gothic St. Bartholomew's Church, built between 1898 and 1901, boasts a Baroque altar and a 17th-century pulpit. It is also worth noting the bell tower from 1341, remnants of the town walls, and 18th and 19th-century houses that complete the small-town character. Miłomłyn has experienced many upheavals, including wars, epidemics, and fires, which significantly impacted the town's development and demographics. In the 19th century, thanks to the construction of the Elbląg Canal and the introduction of the railway, Miłomłyn became a trade hub. After World War II, the town lost its municipal rights, and its history was forgotten for some time. It was not until 1998 that it regained its town status. Today, the population is approximately 2,449. Miłomłyn is seeking spa status, which would allow it to host patients with health issues, influenced by the presence of peat mud. Regional transport is provided by the S7 road and historical railway connections that are no longer operational. The town is home to the Municipal Cultural Center and a library, which organize recurring events such as the Festival of Young Talents and local harvest festivals. Miłomłyn also offers tourist attractions in the form of cycling trails. The local sports club LKS Tęcza Miłomłyn and a modern sports complex encourage physical activity. With its monuments, rich history, and cultural life, Miłomłyn is an interesting point on the map of Warmia and Masuria.
