Brylińce lies south of Krasiczyn, at the foot of the Kopystnianka. In the village center, a Greek Catholic Church of St. Basil the Great stands on a hill; Przysłup-style houses and 19th-century chapels add to the architectural landscape. There is also a First World War military cemetery and hiking trails through the village. For your trip planning, there are two main points of interest: you can explore architectural and religious history, or include Brylińce as part of a hike. The buildings and routes offer specific points of reference for each of these interests.

Church, Houses and Chapels

The Greek Catholic Church of St. Basil the Great dates from 1883 and is still used as a church today. The masonry building has a central dome and stands on a hill in the village center. Its construction date, architectural style and location offer different perspectives on the same building. If you are planning to visit the church interior, check in advance whether access is possible.

Several Przysłup-style houses have been preserved in Brylińce. They complement the church with a different type of local architecture: traditional residential buildings stand alongside a domed church. Numerous 19th-century chapels are located along the roads toward Rokszyce and Koniusza. The architectural heritage therefore extends beyond the centrally located church and can also be explored along these two roads. Architecture enthusiasts will find different points of reference: a masonry church with a central dome, preserved houses in a named architectural style, and chapels along the roads.

Religious History and Places of Remembrance

At the beginning of the 15th century, Brylińce was the seat of an Orthodox parish. The Church of St. Basil the Great dates from 1883 and is now used by the Greek Catholic Church. Together, these details provide different historical points of reference: an early parish history and a later church building. This makes it possible to place the village’s religious history in context without reducing it to the construction date of the present-day church.

Southeast of the church, in a group of trees, is a First World War military cemetery with twelve mass graves. Its location and the number of graves give this site a different spatial and historical context from the centrally located church, which is still in use. If you would like to include both the church and cemetery in your trip plans, check access in advance.

Hiking Trails Through Brylińce

One hiking route runs from Olszany to Brylińce along a paved road, then turns left to reach the village. A trail runs south through the whole of Brylińce, crossing a stream several times. The red Przemyśl–Bircza–Sanok hiking trail also passes through the village. Check the current route and local conditions before setting out.

These routes offer different points of reference for planning: an approach from the direction of Olszany, a southbound route through the village, and the red hiking trail. Choose according to the route you actually want to take.

Accommodation and Trip Planning

If you are focusing on architectural and religious history, you can use the church, houses, chapels and cemetery as a thematic guide. If hiking is your priority, take current route conditions into account when planning. This way, you can base your search on what you actually want to do rather than on just one individual attraction.
