Galiny [ɡaˈlʲinɨ] (German: Gallingen) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Bartoszyce, within Bartoszyce County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, close to the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia.[1]
The village was first mentioned in 1336. In 1468 the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights Heinrich Reuss von Plauen gave the village as a fief to Went von Eulenburg (Yleburg), a member of the House of Wettin, and Gallingen remained property of the Eulenburg family until 1945, when the last owner Botho Wendt zu Eulenburg, was deported to the Soviet Union.[2][3]
The manor house dates back to 1589 and was built by Botho zu Eulenburg. Initially it had the shape of an "U" and was surrounded by a water-filled moat and a drawbridge. The manor was not destroyed throughout World War II but slowly fell into ruins in the postwar years. Since 1995 it is reconstructed and today used as a hotel.[4]
