Encyclopedic overview
Lidzbark Warmiński ([ˈlʲid͡zbarɡ varˈmʲiɲskʲi] ; German: Heilsberg, [ˈhaɪlsbɛʁk] ), often shortened to Lidzbark, is a historical town located within the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It is the capital of Lidzbark County.
Lidzbark Warmiński was once the capital of Warmia and formerly its largest town. Lidzbark itself was a religious and cultural center, for which it was known as the Pearl of Warmia. For a long period of time it was under the control of the Warmian Bishops and it was also a major economic center, only resigning its importance to the nearby city of Braniewo.
