Rymanów ([rɨˈmanuf]; Latin: Rimanovia or Rimanoa; Ukrainian: Рима́нів) is a town located in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in the southeastern tip of Poland, with 3,585 inhabitants.

Rymanów is situated in the heartland of the Doły (Pits) valley, and its average altitude is 420 metres (1,377.95 ft) above sea level, although there are some hills located within the confines of the town.

The town was built by the Duke Naderspan (Vladislaus II) of Silesia, the local representative of king Louis I of Hungary.

Initially the town was named Ladisslavia[1], after the founder, and was inhabited primarily by settlers of central Germany (Reimannshau), largely overpopulated in late Middle Ages.

The town was located on the traditional trade routes leading through the Carpathians to Hungary and in the 15th and 16th centuries it received numerous privileges from various Polish monarchs.

The period of prosperity ended in the 17th century, when this part of Poland was repeatedly pillaged and plundered by the invading armies during the wars against Muscovy, Sweden, Turkey and the Khmelnytsky Uprising.

The town since the 16th century had also a significant Jewish population, a synagogue is already mentioned in 1593, during a criminal trial at the castle court in Sanok.

[2] The local 17th century Bejt-ha-kneset synagogue is one of the exceptional examples of unusual fortified Jewish houses of prayer, used both for religious and military purposes.

Among them are tombs of some of the most renown local Jews, including tsadikkim Menachem Mendl, Cwi Hirsch, Józef Friedman and cantor Israel Schorr.
