Kalyniv

Kalyniv (Ukrainian: Калинів, Russian: Калинов, German: Kaisersdorf, Polish: Kalinów) is a village (selo) in Sambir Raion, Lviv Oblast, in south-west Ukraine.

[1] The village was established in the course of Josephine colonization by German Roman Catholic settlers in 1783.

[2] In the planning process the village was to have a Catholic church built, which, however, did not happen.

In 1940 the local German population was moved out (Heim ins Reich), later replaced by Ukrainians.
