Różanystok is a village and former monastery in northeastern Poland, known regionally for both its ornate 18th-century minor basilica and its agricultural magnet school.

==Geography== Różanystok, formerly known as Krzywy Stok ("Crooked Slope"), is located in the township of Dąbrowa Białostocka, which is in turn situated in the Podlaskie region's Sokółka County division. From the years 1975-1998 the area was part of the Białystok Voivodeship (1975-1998) administrative district. The Belarusian city of Grodno can be seen from the Basilica's bell tower. In 19th-century Russian documents (e.g. in the records of the Grodno Governorate), this name may appear as “Краснысток” — a form corresponding to the Polish “Różanystok” (in East Slavic languages:„Красный” = red, сток” = slope (though as a toponym it may be a phonetic adaptation of the Polish suffix –stok)).
