In the 18th century, the liberation struggle in these places was led by Oleksa Dovbush, a native of Pechenizhyn. In honor of the national hero, in 1971, a monument was erected in Pechenizhyn and a historical-memorial museum was opened, and in 1988, a memorial sign was erected in the Kalynnyk tract, where, according to legend, Oleksa Dovbush was born.

Among the architectural monuments in the village, the church of Saint Dmitry (1629), the church of Saint Michael (1870), and a school (18th century) have been preserved.

The "Kolomiyka" festival is held once every two years in June.

Карпатське селище Печеніжин - батьківщина народного героя Олекси Довбуша. Розташоване в 10 кілометрах на захід від Коломиї.

Печеніжин вважається одним з найдавніших поселень Прикарпаття, оскільки відоме з часів Київської Русі. Ймовірно, першими поселенцями були печеніги, що відображено в назві.

В 1443 році Печеніги згадуються як містечко у власності галицького каштеляна Яна Коли. В 1624 році в документах зустрічається згадка про Печеніжинський замок, який в 1637-1638 роках отримав у нагороду за придушення козацьких повстань польський магнат Станіслав Потоцький, однак під час Визвольної війни замок розгромила повстанська армія Степана Височана.

В XVIII сторіччі визвольну боротьбу в цих місцях очолив уродженець Печеніжина Олекса Довбуш. На честь народного героя в 1971 році в Печеніжині було споруджено пам'ятник і відкрито історико-меморіальний музей, а в 1988 році встановлено пам'ятний знак в урочищі Калинник, де за переказами народився Олекса Довбуш.

З архітектурних пам'яток в селі збереглася церква Святого Дмитра (1629 рік), церква Святого Михайла (1870 рік), школа (XVIII століття).

Один раз на два роки в червні проводиться фестиваль "Коломийка".

Monument to Oleksa Dovbush

Monument

The monument to national hero Oleksa Dovbush was erected in 1971 at the entrance to the village of Pechenizhyn, where he was born in 1700.

According to legend, the house of his father, shepherd Vasyl Dovbush, was located in the Kalynnyk tract, where another memorial was erected in 1988.

In 1738, Dovbush led a rebel detachment of opryshks, which operated first in the area of Pechenizhyn and the adjacent Yablunivsky Pass, and then in almost the entire territory of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Opryshki terrorized the local nobles and robbed rich landowners, distributing the loot to the peasants, for which they earned the fame of the people's avengers, and the tragic death of Dovbush at the hands of a traitor created for him the halo of a national hero and martyr.

The monument to Oleksa Dovbush was made by the sculptor Valentyn Borysenko in the form of a large bust of the rebel leader with an ax that seems to grow out of his native land.
