Budzewo [buˈd͡zɛvɔ] (German: Groß Budschen; until 1938: Groß Sawadden) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Budry, within Węgorzewo County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, close to the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia.[1] It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) north of Budry, 12 km (7 mi) north-east of Węgorzewo, and 107 km (66 mi) north-east of the regional capital Olsztyn.
Before 1945, the area was part of Germany (East Prussia). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
