Bohoniki, Tatar village in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland

The village sits 7 kilometers east of Sokółka and 42 kilometers northeast of Białystok, near the border with Belarus.

Established as a Lipka Tatar settlement, the village contains a wooden mosque constructed around 1873 after the previous structure burned down.

The Muslim cemetery in Bohoniki displays tombstones with Arabic script inscriptions, including texts written in the Ruthenian language.

The village maintains a population of approximately 100 residents and received designation as a National Historic Monument of Poland in 2012.

The wooden mosque underwent restoration in 2003, replacing its tin roof with shingles while preserving its regional architectural characteristics.
