General information about Hnizdychiv

The village of Hnizdychiv is located 5 kilometers northwest of Khodoriv.

It was first mentioned in 1491. The current southern part of the village used to be a separate village of Kokhavyne, which is associated with a legend about the phenomenon of the miraculous icon of the Mother of God of Kokhavyne. This place became an object of pilgrimage. In 1748, a wooden church was built, next to which the Carmelite monastery of St. Gerard was founded. In 1868-94, a stone monastery complex was built, which now belongs to the UGCC.

Hnizdychiv is home to the Kokhavynka paper factory, railway station, distillery and compound fodder factories.

Селище Гніздичів розташоване в 5 кілометрах на північний захід від Ходорова.

Вперше згадується в 1491 році. Нинішня південна частина селища раніше була окремим селом Кохавине, з яким пов'язана легенда про явище чудотворної ікони Матері Божої Кохавинської. Це місце стало об'єктом паломництва. В 1748 році був споруджений дерев'яний костел, поруч з яким було засновано монастир кармелітів Святого Герарда. В 1868-1894 роках споруджено кам'яний монастирський комплекс, який зараз належить УГКЦ.

У Гніздичеві знаходиться Кохавинська паперова фабрика, залізнична станція, спиртовий та комбікормовий заводи.

Saint Gerard Monastery

Temple , Architecture

The Kokhavyne monastery of Saint Gerard was founded in 1755 by monks of the Carmelite order at the wooden temple built in 1748 for the miraculous icon of the Our Lady of Kokhavyne.

The current southern part of the village of Hnizdychiv used to be a separate village of Kokhavyne, which is associated with a legend about the phenomenon of the miraculous icon of the Mother of God of Kokhavyne. According to legend, the icon was discovered in the Kokhavyne forest in 1646, and soon this place became an object of mass pilgrimage. At first, the icon was kept in a small chapel, later a new wooden church was built at the expense of Kostyantyna Vyhovskyi.

During the Austrian rule, the monastery was closed, but in 1868 the construction of a large stone church in the neo-Gothic style began, which was consecrated in 1894. The neo-Gothic stone chapel was built in 1901-1902.

During the Soviet rule, the monastery and temple were closed, and a boarding school was placed on the territory.

Today it is the monastery of the Redemptorists of Saint Gerard. The temple was consecrated in honor of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God (remnants of paintings have been preserved). The miraculous icon was exported to Poland in 1945. Now there is a copy of it in the church. Next to the chapel is a holy spring.
