Kryłów, Rural settlement in eastern Lublin Voivodeship, Poland

The village of Kryłów extends along the meandering Bug River, forming a natural border between Poland and Ukraine in the Hrubieszów County.

Dating back to the 10th century, Kryłów developed from a settlement in Grody Czerwieńskie into a fortified town with a river port under noble families.

The village preserves the memory of its former Jewish community of 750 people who maintained traditional crafts and trading practices until World War II.

Visitors can reach Kryłów by taking a 20-kilometer drive southeast from Hrubieszów or 122 kilometers from the regional capital of Lublin.

The remains of a 14th-century castle built by J. Ostroróg still stand on an island in the Bug River, with corner walls and underground cellars.
