History

Teutonic Knights erected a castle named Lötzen (in Polish – Lec) in 1340, located at the isthmus between two lakes .

Civic rights, with a coat of arms and a seal, were granted to the settlement in 1612.

Between 1772-1945, Lötzen was part of East Prussia.

In the 19th cebntury, a Lutheran church designed by the famous architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel was erected in the centre of the town.

While part of Germany, Lötzen was organized by the Wehrmacht as a Subarea Headquarters of the Allenstein Area headquarters, of Wehrkreis I, which was headquartered at Königsberg. The German 228th Infanterie Division was based in Lötzen until 1945. (Source: German Order of Battle, 1944)

In 1946 the town, formerly called Lec in Polish, was renamed to Giżycko.
