Mural Woman in a Mask

Highlight • Monument

A very unusual mural for a city in eastern Poland, the text goes something like "we are all the same in our differences".
I drove by there 2 years ago and hope the picture still exists!

A monument dedicated to the January insurgents who died here in 1863. It is located on a small hill called "Szubienica" (Gallows) due to the execution of 11 insurgents here. The monument was erected in 1989 thanks to the efforts of the Society of Friends of Choroszcz. Its author is the visual artist Wojciech Załęski, who is a passionate historian (an invaluable expert on the history and culture of the Supraska region). The main performer of this work is Mieczysław Hulewicz, an artist-blacksmith from Czarna Wieś Kościelna, who is one of the most active blacksmiths in Podlasie, combining the traditions of folk and artistic blacksmithing.

Next to it we can see 11 symbolic crosses and boards with the names of fallen insurgents (from the local parish) and others who participated in the fights. At the foot of the slope you see the emblem of insurgent and doze next to the fireplace.

11th November Square in Choroszcz

Highlight • Historical Site

The 11 Listopada Market in Choroszcz is the central point of the city, acting as the main communication hub that connects Choroszcz with other towns in the commune. The square is surrounded by important buildings, such as the church of St. John the Baptist and St. Stephen and a former monastery, which gives this place a unique, historical character. There is also an obelisk commemorating those who died in the fight for the freedom of the homeland. The market used to be called the 9th May Market, but in 1989 it was changed to the current name, referring to Independence Day.

The first mention of a parish with a wooden church in Choroszcz comes from 22 October 1459.

In 1756, Jan Klemens Branicki, the Grand Crown Hetman, Castellan of Kraków, at the request of the Dominicans built a brick monastery and a church consecrated in 1770. This temple was a single-nave building with a barrel vault, in the sacristy and western porch it had a cross vault, with a square tower at the front. The interior of the temple and the monastery refectory were richly decorated and maintained in the Rococo style[2].

In 1780, there is a mention of a unique coffin reliquary of St. Candida, whose remains were excavated from the catacombs of Santa Agnese in Rome in 1765. Perhaps the Dominican fathers brought the relics to spread the cult of the saint, who was known for his unwavering stance in defense of ideals. This stance was especially valuable in a situation when the specter of partitions hung over Poland.

In 1832, the Dominicans were displaced by the tsarist government to Różanystok, and the parish was taken over by diocesan priests. In 1915, during war operations, the church was damaged. During the reconstruction, the church was expanded, adding two side naves, which fundamentally changed the entire structure. Unfortunately, in 1938, for unknown reasons, almost the entire interior of the church and the roof burned down. In 1944, German troops blew up the tower, which destroyed the vault of the church. In the years 1945–1947 the church was rebuilt. Four bells were installed in the tower, named: Jan, Franciszek, Dominik and Stanisław.

The historic Orthodox church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Fasty, built in 1875 on the site of an old wooden church, was taken over by the Uniates in the interwar period and regained by the Orthodox in 1944. In recent years, it has undergone a general renovation, combined with the restoration of the polychromes decorating the interior of the church.
