Prawno is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Józefów nad Wisłą, within Opole Lubelskie County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland. It lies approximately 17km (11miles) south of Opole Lubelskie and 550NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Lublin.[1]

This is a small and picturesque agricultural village along the Wyznica River. The village's name means "right" or "correct", and is derived from the Polish word for law or right, "prawo". The village's church, the Roman Catholic Parish of St Anne serves many of the nearby villages (e.g., Mazanów, Mariampol, Boiska, Pielgrzymka, Chuślanki, Miloszówka, Stasin, Graniczna, Pokreśle) and there is a cemetery for Prawno and the communities served by the parish across the main road from the Prawno church. The parish website provides a map showing the villages that it serves, and has many photographs of parish life and the area of Prawno.
