Domuraty is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Suchowola, within Sokółka County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.[1]
Following the Partitions of Poland, the village fell to the Russian Partition of Poland. During the January Uprising, on April 4, 1863, the Cossacks committed a massacre of five captive Polish insurgents despite the disapproval of Russian officers.[2] The insurgents were buried in nearby Chodorówka Nowa.[2] After World War I, Poland regained independence and control of the village.
There is a memorial to the victims of the massacre of 1863 in Domuraty.[2]
