In Kostomloty is the only Byzantine-Slavic Orthodox church in Poland from the period at the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th (although now changed into a Polish-Rome-Orthodox church).
The idea of winning the Orthodox Church over to union with Rome lead to union of the Byzantine-Slavonic Rite, the Eastern Slavonic Rite to finally the Eastern Catholic Rite.
Kostomloty is a village on the edge of one of the meanders of the Bug River. The land is relatively flat open and a mixture of arable and meadow. The grid like layout of the streets indicate it once had town rights.
