History

The village Romoty (German Romotten) was built around 1500. It belonged to the possession of the ancient noble family Gutowski, originating from northern Mazovia. The name Romoty is of Prussian origin and refers to a sanctuary of the once-based Baltic tribe, as pagan worship was held outdoors, in forests and on heathens (roms, rams: silent, quiet, devout).
