General information about Byshiv

The ancient Galician village of Byshiv on the Mlynivka River is located 25 kilometers east of Sheptytskyi. Administratively, it is part of the Sheptytskyi district of the Lviv region.

The first documentary mention of the Byshiv village in Galicia dates back to 1408, when the Belz prince Zemovyt IV presented it to a certain Mykolay from Hirka.

The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1903 according to the project of the architect Vasyl Nahirnyi. The church houses the icons of the famous Galician artist Osyp Kurilas. Austrian stained glass windows have been preserved.
