About
Chełm is a city in eastern Poland, in Lublin Voivodeship. Its chalk tunnels and its hilltop religious buildings reflect distinctive parts of the city’s geology and history.
Notes
Kholm is also the Ukrainian exonym in romanization. Khelem/Chelm is prominent in Jewish folklore, but the stories do not describe the modern city literally. Chołm is an older historical spelling, not the present Polish official spelling.
