Dzietrzychowo

Dzietrzychowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Sępopol, within Bartoszyce County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, close to the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia.

==History== Dzietrzychowo was founded in 1361 after Dietrich Skomand, a descendant of the famous Yotvingian leader from the 13th-century Prussian uprisings, received the local estate. In 1396, Elżbieta, the widow of Dietrich, received five additional Hufen of land in Dzietrzychowo and, three years later, obtained from the Grand Master Winrich von Kniprode the renewal of the privilege of church patronage. At her initiative, construction began in the early 15th century on a brick Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the village.
