Датою заснування вважається 1371 рік, коли в документах вперше згадуються Болехівські землі. У XVI столітті тут почався видобуток солі (збереглася солеварня ХІХ століття). У 1603 році Болехів отримав Магдебурзьке право, головною пам'яткою міста тепер є міська ратуша.

Bolekhiv City Hall

Architecture

The city hall of Bolekhiv in its current form was built in 1863, although it was laid back in the 18th century.

Bolekhiv had the Magdeburg right since 1603 according to the privilege granted by the Polish king Sigismund III.

The city magistrate was stationed here on the corner of the central square. The small, elegant building of the Bolekhiv City Hall has a clock tower with a figured top.

Recently, the town hall was restored, new chimes of the work of modern Lviv master Oleksiy Burnaev were installed on the clock tower.

To this day, the town hall is used for its intended purpose - it houses the Bolekhiv City Council.
