Makhlynets

Makhlynets (Ukrainian: Махлинець, Polish and German Machliniec) is a village in Stryi Raion, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine.

Each landowner donated on average twenty-five Guilders in cash, thirty-seven cart-loads of material and six full days of labour towards construction.

The Austrians regained the territory in the summer of 1915, only to be pushed back again by Russian forces in their offensive of 1916—the colony of Mariahilf was completely burned down at this time.

As per Article II of the secret protocol of the Molotov–Ribbentrop pact, all land to the east of the Narev, Vistula, and San rivers was to fall into the Soviet sphere of influence.

In November 1939, Soviet and German officials arrived and prepared detailed lists of property and livestock which each family would have to leave behind.

Many children and older people died from the bitter cold, or from typhus and other diseases that were prevalent in the cramped conditions of the resettlement camps.

Inside the church is a small metal plaque with the following words engraved in Ukrainian and German: Until 18 July 2020, Makhlynets belonged to Zhydachiv Raion.
