Choroszcz, Administrative municipality in Białystok County, Poland
Choroszcz is a city near Białystok in northeastern Poland, combining urban areas with rural settlements and farmland across 163.5 square kilometers. The municipality includes multiple villages connected by local roads and surrounded by open countryside.
The settlement received town privileges in 1507 from King Sigismund I the Old, establishing it as a private domain in the Lesser Poland region. This early charter set the foundation for its growth as a local trading center.
The Museum of Polish Interiors showcases how aristocratic families lived in the region through period rooms and furnishings. Visitors can see how domestic spaces reflected the tastes and habits of the nobility during different eras.
The town sits along highways E67 and S8, making it accessible by car, with regular bus services to nearby cities. The journey from Białystok takes about 30 minutes and connects the area well to the wider region.
A Baroque palace built as a summer residence for the Branicki family still stands in the area as a striking landmark. The building was once a symbol of the wealth and power of the regional aristocracy.
