To the north lies the village and forest of Side (Сіде), to the east Horodyshche (Городище), to the south Mokriany (Мокряни) and to the west Vilshanyk (Вільшаник).

Around 1650 King John II Casimir awarded the Cossack Otaman Skrebeciowicz the other half of the Sielec estate, as well as the right to bear the Sas coat of arms for his loyal services to the crown during the Khmelnytsky Uprising.

After the Austrian partition of southern Poland in 1772, the Skrebeciowicz de Sielecki family’s noble status was reaffirmed by the imperial court in Vienna who gave it the hereditary German title of Ritter.

[4] The area changed hands multiple times: after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian empire in 1918, Selets reverted to newly independent Poland and administratively became a part of Lwów Voivodeship.

In late September 1939, following German and Soviet aggression on Poland and Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, Lwów Voivodeship was divided by the two sides.

The population dropped substantially due to World War II and the Stalinist Soviet regime.

After the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 and the collapse of the local kolkhoz, high unemployment forced many, especially young people, to leave for larger towns in flights of urbanization.

The church has a cross-shaped layout consisting of three parts: the narthex in the front, the central nave and the apse in the back, which is shielded by an iconostasis.

From Selets en route to Drohobych lies a memorial site in a forest for the local Jewish population that was murdered during the Shoah.
