Wokiele [vɔˈkʲɛlɛ] (German: Wokellen) 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]
Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (East Prussia). The village was mentioned in 1570 as Wockellenn, in 1785 as Wockellen.[2] In 1889 it was a 279 ha estate belonging to the Struve family (they were also owned by the village of Piasty Wielkie at that time). It was marked in a map from 1907 as Gut Wokellen.[3]
