Wasilków

Located 3 kilometers north of Białystok, Wasilków extends between the Suprasl and Czarni rivers in the Podlaske lowlands amid hilly and swampy terrain.

King Sigismund II Augustus granted town rights to Wasilków in 1566, leading to the establishment of a Catholic parish and the beginning of structured urban development.

The town maintains both Roman Catholic and Jewish cemeteries, with the Jewish burial ground containing preserved matzevot that document the historical presence of Jewish residents.

The development of a Center for Social Services in Wasilków provides healthcare support, family assistance, and specialized care for residents with disabilities.

The local Dutch-style windmill in Studzianki represents the architectural heritage of the region, while the Jurassic Dinosaur Park in Jurowce draws visitors throughout the year.
