History

It was first mentioned on 12 March 1387. At least since 1540 until 1945, Łyna was the seat of a church parish. In 1600, the population of the village was solely Polish.[1] In 1620, Polish Royal secretary Stefan Sadorski obtained 19 włókas of land in Łyna.[1] Various Polish noble families lived in the village throughout centuries, incl. the Chmielewski, Krasiński, Michałowski and Węgierski families.[1] In 1857, it had a population of 239.[1]

The Battle of Tannenberg took place nearby in August 1914 during World War I.
