Kuźnica, Podlaskie Voivodeship, Border village in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland

Kuźnica extends along the border with Belarus, featuring traditional wooden architecture and the Church of the Divine Providence at its center point.

The settlement originated in 1504 as an iron ore smelting facility on the Łosośna River before receiving Magdeburg rights from Queen Bona Sforza in 1546.

Local residents maintain a mixture of Polish and Belarusian traditions, reflected in regional cuisine, language variations, and community celebrations throughout the year.

The village contains a major border checkpoint connecting Poland to Belarus, with railway services to Białystok operating from the northern station.

The former royal pheasantry from 1679 marks the location where Polish monarchs maintained hunting grounds near the market square and four original streets.
