- Kadyny
Kadyny (German: "Cadinen" or "Kadinen") is a village in North-Eastern
Poland inWarmian-Masurian Voivodeship near the city ofTolkmicko . Kadyny used to be a residence of theHohenzollern Prussian kings, emperors.The territory Cadiner Land was named after Cadina, a daughter of a Prussian chief and bordered in the south on the Prussian territory of Lanzanien or Lenzen. With the arrival and government of the
Teutonic Order in Prussia, they built a Teutonic Order Hof (estate) near the site of the Prussen Burg (castle) Cadina. At this Teutonic Order Hof site the Order held court over the nativeOld Prussian inhabitants in this area. Therefore Cadinen was a very important place in the times of theTeutonic Order state .The subsequent town was named "Cadinen" or "Kadinen" until
1945 and is now "Kadyny".As "Cadinen" it became a breeding site for
Trakehner horses and at Kadyny it is again today.
