History
[edit]Pidhaichyky was first mentioned in 1457, but archaeological findings have revealed that the area was settled during the Paleolithic period. Residents participated in the Khmelnytsky uprising, and Oleksa Dovbush also operated around the village.[2] A wooden church, the Church of the Annunciation, was constructed in 1854, apparently the fourth such church in Pidhaichyky's history. Used as a warehouse between 1962 and 1989,[3] it is owned by the Orthodox Church of Ukraine since 2016.[4] In 1939, the village had a population of 2,530, including 2,350 Ukrainians, 130 Latynnyky, 30 Polish people, 10 Jews, and 10 Germans.[5]
