Gmina Lubycza Królewska, Administrative district in Tomaszów Lubelski County, Poland
Gmina Lubycza Królewska is an administrative unit covering about 208 square kilometers in eastern Poland, bordering Ukraine and encompassing numerous villages across rural terrain. The district includes several protected natural areas mixed with farmland and preserved landscapes.
The settlement was founded in 1420 when Prince Siemowit of Mazovia established it under Wallachian law and appointed Jakub and Miczko as local rulers. This early establishment set the foundation for the area's ongoing role as an important community.
The district preserves its multicultural heritage through wooden churches, including the 17th-century St. Nicholas church in Hrebenne. These structures reflect the religious and architectural diversity that shaped the area over centuries.
The area serves as a gateway to Ukraine through the Hrebenne border crossing, where the national road S17 from Warsaw terminates. Visitors will find this is a key transportation hub with access to cross-border routes.
The Fossil Forest Museum in Siedliska displays petrified wood from a geological formation recognized since the 15th century. These specimens offer insight into the prehistoric past of the region.
