General information about Ruda

The village of Ruda is located on the banks of the Berezhnytsia River, a tributary of the Dniester, 10 kilometers southwest of Zhydachiv.

It was first mentioned in 1394 as Pylypova Ruda. The name is connected with the fact that in ancient times iron ore was mined here, from which iron was smelted in the Demnischa tract. In 1623, Ruda received Magdeburg law.

Since 1660, the town was owned by the Vyhovsky family. In 2004, the museum of Hetman Ivan Vyhovsky was opened in the preserved house of the manager of the estate. Vyhovsky's oak grows in the hetman's yard.

Село Руда розташоване на березі річці Бережниця, притоці Дністра, за 10 кілометрів на південний захід від Жидачева.

Вперше згадується в 1394 році як Пилипова Руда. Назва пов'язана з тим, що в давнину тут видобували залізну руду, з якої в урочищі Демніща виплавляли залізо. В 1623 році Руда отримала Магдебурзьке право.

З 1660 року містечком володіла родина Виговських. В 2004 році в збереженому будинку керуючого маєтком було відкрито музей гетьмана Івана Виговського. На гетьманському подвір'ї росте дуб Виговського.

Hetman Ivan Vyhovsky Memorial Museum

Museum / gallery

The first museum of Hetman Ivan Vyhovskyi in Ukraine was opened in 2004 in the village of Ruda near Zhydachiv, where he lived in 1660-1664 and was probably buried. The museum is a branch of the Lviv National Art Gallery.

Since 1660, this village belonged to the Vyhovsky family for more than a hundred years. The manager's house has been preserved from their estate, which houses an exposition reflecting the period of the struggle for Ukraine's independence from the times of Zaporizhzhian Sich to the end of the 1940s and 1950s.

Painting works by domestic and foreign artists of the XVII-XX centuries are widely presented here. In particular, a painting by an unknown artist (19th century) depicting Ivan Vyhovsky's wife Olena Stetkevych. Among the exhibits are works of sacred art of the XVII-XIX centuries. An icon of the Ascension (an unknown artist of the 2nd half of the 18th century) from the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in the village of Yosypovychy in Stryi region is kept here - the family church of the Vyhovskys. The icon was restored in 2004 by the workers of the restoration department of the Lviv Art Gallery.

The museum exhibits objects of material culture found near the former hetman's castle in the village of Ruda. Among the rare ones is an oak door from the Vyhovsky family church with a gift inscription of the hetman's daughter-in-law Tereza Zavadska, wife of Ostap's son.
