(only in polish language!)
Michalowo is a little village with 3000 inhabitants around and is located 36 km from Bialystok in the North-East of Poland.
Michalowo is one of the youngest villages in the area of the community. It was founded in 1832 by Seweryn Michałowski - as a settlement for factory workers of textile industry.
Until the Second World War here, there have been living German, Polish, Jewish and Belorussian people together and they have given a multinational image to the village.
