Kryłów
village in Lublin, Poland
Kryłów ([ˈkrɨwuf]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Mircze, within Hrubieszów County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland, close to the border with Ukraine.
History
The settlement grew up next to the castle, which served as a place of refuge for the local population in case of Tatar raids. In the 16th century the castle became the seat of the Ostroróg family. In 1635, Mikołaj Ostroróg built a Catholic church. Later on, the castle passed to the Radziejowski, Prażmowski, Chrzanowski and Horodyski families.
Jewish community
The Jewish population numbered 750 Jews in 1921. Many Jews had left the village during World War I because of its proximity to the battlefront and moved to larger towns in the Lublin district, particularly Hrubieszów. In the interwar period the Jewish community continued its traditional crafts and trading in the village. Their way of life was religious and the Zionist movement also exerted considerable influence. At the end of September, 1939 the village was occupied by the Germans.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Kryłów” as village in Lublin, Poland. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as village in Lublin, Poland. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2743964. VIAF identifies the subject as 125696917. The Library of Congress control number is n2005035856. Authority coordinates are 50.682, 24.056. 4 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1635, 1921 and 1939.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
