LAZDUNY,

a small town in Oszmiana county; 3rd police district; 66.3 Miles from Wilno and 41.8 miles from Oszmiana; 456 inhabitants; the property is owned partly by the government treasury and partly owned by Weronika Korwin Milewska. In 1817 the town and estate were the property of Jozef Wolodkiewiez, then later of Samuel Laniewski Wolk, from whom it went to Milewska. The town has a branch of the Subotniki parish church, named for Sts. Simon Jude and Anne. It was founded in 1744 and made of wood, and rebuilt in 1853 by Samuel Wolk; the branch has 4,336 souls.
In 1407 Jan Monwid, voivode of Wilno, received Lazduny, along with other benefits, from the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Witold. For centuries afterwards it belonged to the Radziwill family, who mortgaged it. Among others, the Dominicans from Poporcie leased it at the beginning of the 18th century (until 1787). Later Bishop Zienkowicz of Wilno took it over. In 1806 the last possessor of entail, Prince Dominick Radziwill, made a present of Lazduny to Jozef Wollowicz, from whom Samuel Wolk (-Laniewski) acquired it around 1810. It later went by way of dowry to Edmund Korsak, from whom his brother-in-law, Oskar Milewski, redeemed it. Today, it isowned by his son Hipolit.
