The village of Volia Yakubova on the Medvezhanka River is located 15 kilometers north of Drohobych. It is administratively part of the Drohobych hromada of the Drohobych district of the Lviv region.

The first written mention of the village dates back to 1340. Local legend connects the name with the name of the founder - the merchant Yakub, who settled his people here, giving them freedom.

For several centuries, the owners of Volia Yakubova were landowners Vatsevytskyi, Romult, Ostoroh, Bekerski and Tarnavski. The wooden church of the Holy God-pleasers Cosmas and Damian was built in 1827 on the site of an older church.

Leader of the OUN Andriy Melnyk Manor-Museum

Museum / gallery

The manor-museum of the leader of the Ukrainian national liberation movement, the second head of the OUN, Colonel Andriy Melnyk, was opened in his native village of Volia Yakubova in 2020 on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of his birth.

Andriy Melnyk was born in 1890 in the family of a local priest and public servant Atanas Melnyk, who was friends with the family of Ivan Franko. Franko himself visited the Melnyky residence in Volia Yakubova more than once. This formed the foundations of the national consciousness and patriotism of young Andriy even in his childhood.

The museum was set up in an old house of the beginning of the 20th century, in which Andriy Melnyk's relatives once lived.

One of the rooms in the house has been preserved in an authentic state - with a clay floor. Household items and farm tools used by village craftsmen at that time were collected here. Some of them belonged to relatives of Colonel Melnyk. The exposition in another part of the house is dedicated directly to the life of Andriy Melnyk and his participation in the national liberation movement.
