Attractions of Dobromyl

The Dobromyl town hall was built in the 18th century in the Renaissance style. A clock was installed on the clock tower in 1883, which is still working.

On the facade of the town hall is the family coat of arms of the Herburts - a green apple pierced with three swords.

The Dobromyl castle of the Herburt family is located in the middle of a beech forest on the Blind Mountain (Slipa Hora, 566 meters), 3 kilometers south of Dobromyl.

Lviv castelian Stanislav Herburt began to build it from stone and brick in 1566 on the site of a wooden fortification founded in 1450 by Mykola Herburt, but soon burned by the Tatars. In 1614, Yan Shchasny Herburt thoroughly rebuilt the fortress. The oval shape of the Dobromyl castle in plan corresponded to the outline of the mountain.

The ruins of the northwestern part have been preserved, consisting of the remains of a massive multifaceted tower (internal diameter of about 17 meters) and fragments of walls diverging from it, 25-26 meters long. The tower is two-story with an entrance gate. In the first tier of the tower, loopholes with arched lintels are placed on two levels. The second tier is separated by a small ledge. Its walls are pierced with rectangular windows. The tower is completed by a high attic with a decorative blind arcade, similar to the attic of the castle in Stare Selo. The defensive walls are completed with the same attic, the top of which is at the level of the second tier of the tower. The Renaissance attic somewhat softens the harsh appearance of the powerful walls (thickness reaches 2 meters). The loopholes of the lower tier of the tower with large chambers (internal) and side holes in the cheeks were intended for conducting cross fire.

The castle has been abandoned since the 18th century. Unlike other castles of the palace type, it had exclusively defensive significance, and the living quarters were used only for temporary residence.

The Basilian Monastery of Saint Onuphrius the Great near Dobromyl was first mentioned in 1613, when Yan Shchensny Herburt and his wife Yelyzaveta, a princess from the Zaslavsky family, granted the holy monastery a foundation deed.

First, the church of Saint Father Nicholas was built, which stood for more than two hundred years and was dismantled after a natural disaster by order of the abbot Venedykt Olshynsky. In 1723, the stone church of Saint Onuphrius was built, and in 1731 - a two-story building of cells and a bell tower adjacent to it.

In plan, the bell tower is square, from the facade it is two-story, but inside it has four floors. The lower tier with a passage covered by a semi-circular vault, the upper one is finished with a bulbous head. The facades are decorated with composite order pilasters and flat niches.

In Soviet times, a psycho-neurological boarding school was located on the territory of the monastery. Now the monastery once again belongs to the Basilian fathers.

The Roman Catholic Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord in Dobromyl was built in the 16th-17th centuries after a fire in 1535 destroyed the old wooden Catholic church.

Damaged during the Liberation War, the Transfiguration Church was thoroughly reconstructed in 1719 at the expense of Voytsekh Mykhalsky. Already in 1743, the owner of the city, Blazhey Krasynskyi, also carried out reconstruction, placing the coat of arms of his family on the church. The Transfiguration Church underwent another reconstruction in 1884.

In Soviet times, the church remained in use. Paintings of the 18th century have been preserved in the interior.
