Ulucz IPA-pl| [|'|u|l|u|cz|] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Dydnia, within Brzozów County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland.cite web |url=http://www.stat.gov.pl/broker/access/prefile/listPreFiles.jspa |title=Central Statistical Office (GUS) - TERYT (National Register of Territorial Land Apportionment Journal) |date=2008-06-01 |language=Polish] The village has a population of 150.

The Boyko population of the area used to call the village Ulicz, before being expelled during Operation Wisla. Before that, the main population of the village was Ukrainian. The village suffered considerable damage in the Second World War, and today it only consists of a few dozen houses.

Church of Ascension of our Lord

Ulucz is the location of the oldest wooden "cerkiew" in Poland. It was built by Boyko. It has survived because of its strategic location, overlooking the San River. Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Fathers founded a school of wooden architecture in Ulucz, which taught woodcarvers how to make iconostasis and other religious artefacts. The church nowadays is a museum.
