History

edit

Koniatyn was first mentioned in 1774. Its residents supported peasant uprisings led by Lukjan Kobylytsia. The Austrian government responded by executing local leaders who supported Kobylytsia.

The village is home to a wooden church named the Basilian Church [uk]. The church was constructed in either 1790 or 1877,[2] and it is part of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.[3]
