Skole (Ukrainian: Сколе, IPA: [ˈskɔle] ⓘ) is a small city in Stryi Raion, Lviv Oblast (region) of Ukraine.

[3] A very important route from Kyiv to Hungary ran through Skole; as a result, it was frequently fought over by other nations.

Following the Partitions of Poland, it was annexed by the Habsburg Empire, as part of Austrian Galicia, where Skole remained until 1918.

In the interbellum period, it was part of Stryj County, Stanislawow Voivodeship, with population divided between Jewish, Polish and Ukrainian communities, also Germans and Czechs.

Until September 17, 1939 (see Soviet Invasion of Poland), the town housed Battalion Skole of the Border Protection Corps.

The Ukrainian Christians living there were described as 10 times crueller than the German executioners by Aaron Wilf in his diaries.

[7] They were given this honor in 1974 and are on the official list stored by Yad Vashem as Svistun, 'Mikhailo & Polaha and son Vasily'.

About 25 million years ago in the Neogene period of the Cenozoic era, the sandstone Carpathian Mountains were formed.

At present the Tustan' sandstone formations is a state history and cultural reserve visited every year by more than 3,000 people.
