Shafaqna English- The wooden mosque in the village of Kruszyniany, Poland, is among the nominees for National Geographic’s “Wonders of Poland” competition.
According to the Muslimsaroundtheworld website, the historic wooden mosque in the village of Kruszyniany—situated in the Podlaskie region of northeastern Poland—stands out among the nominees for National Geographic’s “Wonders of Poland” competition.
This nomination draws attention to a landmark structure deeply connected to the history of Muslim Tatars and their long-standing presence on Polish soil.
The Kruszyniany Mosque serves as a testament to the historic presence of the Muslim community in the Republic of Poland. Its wooden structure lends it a unique architectural character among the region’s historical monuments.
By situating the wooden mosque alongside the historic Muslim cemetery, the community of Kruszyniany has created a site that reflects aspects of the religious and social history of Muslim Tatars in Poland.
