Kostomłoty, Lublin Voivodeship

Kostomłoty is a village situated near the Belarusian border within Lublin Voivodeship. It comprises agricultural fields, traditional wooden buildings, and a small settlement that forms part of Gmina Kodeń administrative area.

The village was first documented in 1412 when Lithuanian Grand Duke Vytautas granted the land to the Augustinian Order. This early connection to the Church shaped the place's religious identity for centuries to follow.

The community maintains living ties to Byzantine-Slavonic Christian traditions through its active parish and local religious practices.

The village can be reached by regional buses from Biała Podlaska or by driving along local roads that connect to larger towns in eastern Poland. The best time to visit is summer or autumn when road conditions are most favorable.

The Church of Saint Nicetas here holds the relics of the Pratulin Martyrs and stands as the only remaining Byzantine-Slavonic Rite parish in all of Poland. This distinction draws pilgrims and visitors interested in the country's religious history.
