Dwórzno [ˈdvuʐnɔ] (German: Hoofe) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Górowo Iławeckie, within Bartoszyce County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, close to the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) south-west of Górowo Iławeckie, 22 km (14 mi) west of Bartoszyce, and 52 km (32 mi) north of the regional capital Olsztyn.
Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (East Prussia). Following World War II the native German populace was expelled and replaced by Poles.
