Wola Gułowska, Village in Gmina Adamów Łuków County, Poland.
Wola Gułowska is a village in Gmina Adamów, Łuków County, in the Lublin Voivodeship of eastern Poland. It sits in a flat farming landscape close to the Czarna river, surrounded by fields and patches of forest.
The village first appears in written records in 1508 and grew considerably after Ludwik Krasiński founded a Carmelite monastery with a church in 1633. That foundation shaped the character of the settlement for the centuries that followed.
The Baroque church in the village is dedicated to the Visitation of Mary and remains a gathering point for local community life. Visitors can see the church at the center of village events, especially on religious feast days.
The village is off the main roads, so having your own transport is the most practical way to get there. It is worth checking in advance for food and accommodation options, as the area is rural and services are limited.
The Battle of Kock in October 1939 was fought partly near the village cemetery and a local airfield, making this small place a site of the last organized Polish military resistance in that year. A memorial museum in the village marks what happened there.
