Krynki, Municipality in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland.
Krynki is a town in Podlaskie Voivodeship in northeastern Poland, situated roughly 45 kilometers east of Białystok. The municipality serves as an administrative center for the surrounding rural areas near the Belarusian border.
The town served as a royal residence until 1429 and later became known for producing textiles, leather, and pottery. In the 15th century, it combined strategic importance with economic strength in the region.
The town has a mixed religious makeup, with Polish Catholics as the majority alongside an Orthodox Belarusian community. This diversity shapes the everyday life and the buildings you see when walking through the streets.
The town offers basic facilities including sports areas that are open to visitors and residents during set hours. Check opening times of local facilities before your visit to plan your time effectively.
A historical meeting in 1434 between Polish King Władysław II Jagiełło and Lithuanian Duke Sigismund Kęstutaitis reinforced the bond between the two nations at this location. This event shows how deeply the town was woven into larger European history.
