Kikoły [kiˈkɔwɨ] is a settlement part of the village of Kadyny,[2] in the administrative district of Gmina Tolkmicko, within Elbląg County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[3] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) south-west of Tolkmicko, 25 km (16 mi) north of Elbląg, and 88 km (55 mi) north-west of the regional capital Olsztyn. (Kikoły, not Kikoty).

A watermill was erected in the settlement in 1347, it was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt throughout history, and Kikoły developed into a land estate in the 18th century.[1] After the First Partition of Poland in 1772 the settlement was annexed by Prussia, and the mill and estate were nationalized by the Prussians.[1] From 1871 to 1945 it formed part of Germany (within the province of East Prussia), before it became part of Poland again after Nazi Germany's defeat in World War II.
