Kock, Historic town in Lublin Voivodeship, Poland

The municipality of Kock spans across eastern Poland between Lublin and Warsaw, featuring stone buildings constructed during the 1930s reconstruction period.

The settlement received city rights from King Władysław II Jagiełło in 1417, marking its transition from a Yotvingian tribal fortress to an organized urban center.

The Memorial Book of Kotsk, published in Tel Aviv in 1961, documents the experiences and daily life of the Jewish community that lived in Kock.

The town maintains multiple religious structures, shops, and public facilities, serving a population of approximately 3,500 residents in the Lubartów County.

The area contains remnants of a pagan cemetery near Ruska Wieś, connecting to the settlement's pre-Christian origins as a sanctuary for Yotvingian tribal deities.
