Sławkowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kętrzyn, within Kętrzyn County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.
Location Sławkowo is located in the north-central part of the Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship, about 5 kilometres south of the town of Kętrzyn (German: Rastenburg).
History Sławkowo was established in 1407 as an estate known as Reimsdorff before 1772 and Rheimsdorf after 1772. In 1785, it was recorded as a "royal manor" with five households, and in 1820 as a "noble manor" with five households and a population of 109.
In 1874, the Reimsdorf estate was incorporated into the Rastenburg Estate administrative district in the Province of East Prussia. Reimsdorf had 133 inhabitants in 1885 and 187 in 1910.
On 30 September 1928, the Reimsdorf estate district, the rural municipality of Groß Bürgersdorf (Polish: Poganowo), and the estate districts of Hinzenhof (Zalesie Kętrzyńskie) and Klein Bürgersdorf (Poganówko) were merged to form the new rural municipality of Bürgersdorf.
Following the transfer of southern East Prussia to Poland in 1945, Reimsdorf was renamed Sławkowo. It is now a village in the gmina Kętrzyn in Kętrzyn County, Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship. From 1975 to 1998, it belonged to the Olsztyn Voivodeship.
