Perehinske

Perehinske (Ukrainian: Перегінське; Polish: Perehińsko; Hebrew: פרהינסקו) is a rural settlement in Kalush Raion, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, western Ukraine.

[4] Already in the Middle Ages, the village was given by Prince Fiodor Olgierdowic of Gediminids, duke of Ratno, Liuboml and Kobryn to the Orthodox cathedral of Krylos near Halicz.

[5] In 1548, king Sigismund I of Poland allowed bishop Makary of Lvov, Kamieniec and Halicz to buy back the property.

[5] It was only in May 1661 that king Jan Kazimierz of Poland finally ruled in favour of Jabłonowskis and annulled all claims by bishops of Lvov.

In commemoration of this victory, bishop Józef Szumlański founded a new Orthodox church and a small monastyr, both devoted to Saint Onuphrius.

[5] Although the Jabłonowskis withdrew their claim to the village, the conflict continued, as bishop Szumlański claimed the village to himself rather than to Orthodox church in general and Basilian friars of Krylos continued to question that in courts for another 20 years, until bishop Lew Szeptycki finally settled the issue in 1780.

By the 19th century, the village grew to be one of the largest in the region, from its northern end to the southern outskirts, it measured roughly 50 kilometres.

The facilities included numerous sawmills utilising wood from surrounding forests and exporting it via the Łomnica (Limnitsia) river, navigable for 6 months in a year.
