Gmina Gródek, Rural municipality in Białystok County, Poland.
Gmina Gródek is a rural municipality in Białystok County near the Polish-Belarusian border, shaped by forests, farmland, and traditional village structures. The administrative center sits in the village core with buildings typical of the region.
A monastery was founded here in 1498, which later relocated to Supraśl and shaped the region's religious development. This early religious establishment marked the area's importance in medieval eastern Poland.
The place reflects a long history of mixed religious traditions, where Orthodox and Catholic communities coexisted for centuries. You can still see traces of this shared past in the buildings and local sites today.
The municipality lies in a border region, so visitors should expect rural infrastructure and be aware of the proximity to the Belarus border. The village of Gródek itself serves as the main reference point for navigating the area.
A cemetery dating to the 1800s holds graves of residents who died in World War II, marked by a memorial stone dedicated to them. This place offers insight into the human stories of this border region.
