General information about Pidhaitsi

The ancient Halician city of Pidhaitsi on the Koropets River is located between Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk, at a distance from the main highways, and therefore rarely visited by tourists.

It was first mentioned as a town in 1463, but the settlement probably existed even earlier. There are three versions of the origin of the name: the city "under the grove" (near the grove), the city under Mount Hay, or the founder's name was Pidhayets.

In the 15th-16th centuries, the city belonged to the Buchachskyi noble family, and from 1630 - to the Potocki magnates. In order to protect against the Horde attack, the owners of the city built a castle, and a church was built near. At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th, Pidhaitsi became a district center with s ...

In order to protect against the Horde attack, the owners of the city built a castle, and a church was built near. At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th, Pidhaitsi became a district center with several small enterprises: an agricultural machinery factory, pottery workshops, a brewery, a distillery. Until the beginning of the 20th century, Pidhaitsi was a significant trade center of Eastern Galicia, but in Soviet times it declined.

The Dormition Church and church of the 17th century, the wooden Savior Church of the 18th century, and the synagogue of the 16th-17th centuries have been preserved.

There are monuments to Taras Shevchenko and Adam Mitskevych in the city.

Старовинне галицьке місто Підгайці на річці Коропець розташоване між Тернополем та Івано-Франківськом, на відстані від основних автомагістралей, а тому його рідко відвідують туристи.

Вперше згадується в 1463 році вже як місто, але, ймовірно, поселення існувало й раніше. Щодо походження назви є три версії: місто "під гаєм", місто під горою Гай, або Підгайцем звали засновника.

В ХV-ХVI століттях місто належало шляхетському роду Бучацьких, а з 1630 року - магнатам Потоцьким. З метою захисту від нападу ординців господарі міста побудували замок, а неподалік Потоцькі звели костел. В кінці XIX - на початку ХХ Підгайці стали повітовим центром з декількома невеликими підприємствами: фабрикою сільгоспмашин, гончарними майстернями, броварнею, винокурнею. До початку ХХ столітт ...

До початку ХХ століття Підгайці були значним торговим центром Східної Галичини, але в радянські часи занепали.

Збереглася Успенська церква та костел XVII століття, дерев'яна Спаська церква XVIII століття, синагога XVI-XVII століття.

В місті є пам'ятники Тарасові Шевченку та Адамові Міцкевичу.

Pidhaitsi Region History Museum

Museum / gallery

The museum in Pidhaitsi was created in 1993 as a museum of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army on the initiative of the "Union of Ukrainian Women" in the basement, where NKVD officers once tortured political prisoners. In 2002, the Pidhaitsi Region History and Local Lore Museum was created on the basis of the UPA museum. Currently, the museum is located in the former building of the Ukrainian People's House in the style of Ukrainian Art Nouveau.

The museum's exposition is presented in three thematic sections. The first hall is dedicated to the archaeology of the region and the history of the liberation struggle in Pidhaitsi. It exhibits a collection of memoirs of former soldiers of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army "In the ranks of the UPA", the chronicle "Unforgettable summer and autumn of the 1991 independence uprising", materials "Celebrating the 60th anniversary". Of great value is also the translation from the Russian journalistic work of Ivan Bilas "The Repressive and Punitive System in Ukraine in 1917-1953", written on the basis of research into archival materials, which reveal the insidious technology of combating the national liberation movement of the OUN-UPA, which was practiced by the NKVD.

The second hall is an art and journalistic hall. It houses paintings and literary and journalistic materials by local historians and former residents of the Pidhaitsi region who now live abroad.

The third hall is an ethnographic hall. It presents exhibits reflecting the culture and life of the peasants who lived in the region during the 19th century.
