Lukoml (Belarusian: Лукомль, Polish: Łukoml) is a village in Lukoml selsoviet, Chashniki District, Vitebsk Region, Belarus, by the Lukoml Lake.

History

Early references to Lukoml in Russian chronicles are dated by 1078, when it was burned by Vladimir Monomakh. In 15-16th centuries it constituted a separate principality. In 1563, it was burned down by Russians. In the pre-1917 Russian Empire, it was a shtetl of about 1,000 inhabitants with one Orthodox church, one Catholic church, two synagogues, one school and 8 shops. There are remnants of ancient fortifications by the village.[1]
