Komańcza, Mountain village in Sanok County, Poland.
Located in the Bukowsko Upland mountains near the Slovak border, Komańcza spans across 8.93 square kilometers at an elevation of 482 meters.
First documented in 1512 as Crziemyenna, the village became the center of the temporary Komancza Republic between November 1918 and January 1919.
The population of Komańcza represents different groups including Poles, Lemkos, and Pogorzans, with distinct religious traditions spanning Orthodox and Catholic faiths.
The village connects to multiple hiking paths, including the European walking route E8, which extends through various locations from Prešov to Dukla.
The original wooden church from 1802, built in Eastern Lemko style, stood until 2006 when fire destroyed it, though its belfry remains standing.
