Narewka, Rural village in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland
Narewka is a village in eastern Poland positioned along the Narewka River in Hajnówka County, near the Belarus border. The settlement sits in Podlaskie Voivodeship and is surrounded by river plains and agricultural lands.
The village was part of a different administrative area until August 1945 when post-war changes reshaped its status. This shift in borders brought it under Polish administration and influenced how the community developed afterward.
The village reflects Polish-Belarusian ties through its religious buildings that serve both Catholic and Orthodox traditions, visible markers of the shared heritage here. These structures are woven into daily life and show how two communities coexist in this border area.
The village has basic services and infrastructure including improved water systems that support daily life. Visitors should expect limited tourist facilities as this is a working rural community rather than a tourist destination.
The village is home to a gallery named after Tamara Sołoniewicz that serves as a cultural landmark in the region. This art space attracts visitors from the surrounding area and adds to the cultural presence of this small community.
