Stary Folwark is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Suwałki, within Suwałki County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 10km (10miles) east of Suwałki and 1070NaN0 north of the regional capital Białystok.

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1939, Polish parish priest from Bakałarzewo was briefly imprisoned in the village by the Germans before he was moved to the prison in Suwałki and eventually murdered in the forest near the village of Krzywe, as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[2] [3]
