Kruszyniany, Tatar village in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland
The village contains a wooden mosque measuring 10 by 13 meters with three towers, including two main towers and a smaller one near the mihrab.
King John III Sobieski granted this land to Tatar soldiers in 1683 as recognition for their support during the Battle of Vienna against Ottoman forces.
The interior of the mosque features separate sections and entrances for men and women, divided by a wooden partition following Muslim religious traditions.
Visitors can explore both the historical mosque and the Tatarska Jurta restaurant, which serves traditional Tatar dishes with menu descriptions in Polish and English.
This settlement represents one of only two remaining Polish villages where Lipka Tatars maintain their centuries-old traditions while speaking Polish as their primary language.
