Pasłęk (pronounced [ˈpaswɛŋk]; formerly known in Polish as Holąd Pruski, German: Preußisch Hollandⓘ, Old Prussian: Pāistlauks) is a historic town in northern Poland, within Elbląg County in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.

The oldest record of the name of the Pasłęk territory appears as Pozolucensis provincia in a petition of Polish Dominicans to Pope Gregory IX from 1231.

[2] In 1440 the town joined the Prussian Confederation,[3] at the request of which King Casimir IV Jagiellon signed the act of incorporation of the region to the Kingdom of Poland in 1454.

[5] After the peace treaty signed in Toruń in 1466, the town became part of Poland as a fief held by the Teutonic Order's state.

[7] In 1831, various Polish artillery units, engineer corps, sappers, honor guards and general staff of the November Uprising stopped in the town on the way to their internment places.

With the arrival of the Red Army on 23 January 1945, and the end of the war, the town became again part of Poland, although with a Soviet-installed communist regime, which stayed in power until the 1980s.

[10] The remaining ethnic Germans were expelled in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement in several transports within the following year, e.g. 149 people on 4 September and 89 on 4 October 1947.

[3] Among the historic heritage of Pasłęk are: The Polish S7 expressway (highway), which is part of European route E77, runs through the town, connecting it with Gdańsk, Warsaw, Kraków and the border with Slovakia at Chyżne.

The town's main sports club is Polonia Pasłęk with football, athletics and kickboxing sections.
