ST. NICHOLAS
CIRCUMCISION OF JESUS CHRIST

Historical Data: Biræanskyj Deanery, then Dynivs'kyj Deanery after World War I. The wooden church (Circumcision) was built in 1879, replacing an older wooden church (St. Nicholas) which existed at least as early as 1828 and was visited in 1836 by Bishop Snihurs'kyj. It is now being used by Latin rite Catholics.
The village was founded 1402. In 1828 it was independent parish, then from 1830 until 1866 it was a filial church of Uljuæ. In 1866 it became an independent church again.
next to the church is a large bell tower of architectural interest, dating from the 17th century, and in the village there is a roadside shrine.
Tha parish was incorporated into the Administration of LemkivϾyna in 1934.
