General information about Lime Kilns (Mezhyriv)

Kilns for burning lime at the entrance to the village of Mezhyriv were built in the 19th century near the outcrops of lime deposits.

These minerals supported the economy of the village. Several large brick kilns with a diameter of more than 3 meters were built on the slopes of the limestone hills to burn lime from carbonate rocks.

Now they are partially destroyed. From a distance, the industrial building resembles the ruins of a castle.

Печі для випалу вапна на під'їзді до села Межирів побудовані в XIX столітті поблизу виступів вапняних відкладень.

Ці корисні копалини підтримували економіку села. Для випалу вапна з карбонатних гірських порід у схили вапняних пагорбів будували кілька великих цегляних печей діаметром понад 3 метри.

Нині вони частково зруйновані. Здалеку промислова споруда нагадує руїни замку.
