'Below the Rock'; Polish: Podkamień) is a rural settlement in Zolochiv Raion, Lviv Oblast, western Ukraine.
In the second half of the 15th century wasteland around the place where the monastery had been, was in possession of nobleman Petrus Cebrovscii who founded the town.
Pidkamin hosted a miraculous icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary (a copy of the famous Protectress of the Roman People from the Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica in Rome), crowned in 1727 by the Latin Church bishop of Lutsk Stefan Rupniewski, assisted by other Latin and Ruthenian Catholic bishops, with a crown conferred by Pope Benedict XIII.
[citation needed] The icon was again crowned in 1927 by the Latin Church Metropolitan of Lviv Bolesław Twardowski and in 1959 by the Cardinal Primate of Poland Stefan Wyszyński.
[3] After World War II the icon was removed from Pidkamin to rescue it from communists and today remains in the Dominican church of St Adalbert in Wrocław, Poland.
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the emergence of independent Ukraine, the ruins of the monastery were given to Ukrainian Greek Catholic Studite Brethren.
[6] Prior to the Second World War Pidkamin had a Jewish population that was tragically murdered during the Holocaust by German Nazis.
