Nyzhnia Rozhanka (Ukrainian: Ни́жня Рожа́нка, Polish: Rożanka Niżna) is a Carpathian village (selo) in Stryi Raion, Lviv Oblast, of Western Ukraine. It is located within the limits of the Eastern Beskids (Skole Beskids) in the southern part of the Lviv Oblast. Nyzhnia Rozhanka belongs to Slavske settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] The total area of the village is 18,83 km2 and its population is about 887 people. Local government is administered by Nyzhnorozhanska village council.[2]
Geography
[edit]The village is situated along the Rozhanka river,[3] right tributary of the Opir River[4] (Dniester river basin).[5] Distance from the regional center Lviv is 139 kilometres (86 mi), 31 kilometres (19 mi) from the district center Skole, and 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from the urban village Slavske.
At a distance of 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) are the ski lifts on the Trostyan mountain.

History and attractions
[edit]The village has been referenced since the 13th century, although the official founding date of the village is 1675.[7]
Until 18 July 2020, Nyzhnia Rozhanka belonged to Skole Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Skole Raion was merged into Stryi Raion.[8][9]
The village has a monument of Cultural Heritage in Ukraine, which is the bell tower of the Church of the Epiphany 19th century (wooden) (N – 517).[10]
