Drohiczyn

Drohiczyn sits on the Bug River in Poland’s Podlaskie Voivodeship, where the town rises from a high riverbank above the broad valley. Once an important medieval centre on routes linking Mazovia, Lithuania and Rus’, it retains a compact historic core of churches and former monastic buildings. Castle Hill above the Bug is associated with the 1253 coronation of Daniel Romanowicz as King of Rus’. The Baroque Holy Trinity Cathedral, formerly a Jesuit church, is a focal point of the old town and the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Drohiczyn.
