Wojciechów, Lublin County, Rural village in Lublin County, Poland
Wojciechów is a village in Lublin County, eastern Poland, that also serves as the seat of Gmina Wojciechów. It is made up of scattered houses set among farming land, with a small cluster of municipal buildings at its center.
The village grew as a farming settlement during the medieval period and was later designated as the administrative seat of the local gmina. That role as a local center has shaped how the place has developed over the following centuries.
Wojciechów is known across the region for its long tradition of knife-making and blacksmithing, which visitors can explore at a local museum dedicated to this craft. Handmade blades and tools produced here are still sold and used, keeping the trade alive in a way that feels tangible rather than purely ceremonial.
The village is best reached by car, as public transport options in this part of rural Lublin County are limited. Visitors planning to see the local knife-making museum should check its opening days in advance, as hours can vary.
Wojciechów is home to one of the few museums in Poland dedicated entirely to the craft of knife-making and blacksmithing. The collection brings together tools and blades made by local craftspeople over many generations, making it a rare place to see this trade documented in depth.
