Church in Dobromyl

Church in Dobromil

Carpathians, Migovo

For a long time, local Catholics did not have their own church and attended the church in Felshtin. Only in 1531 did the Herburts allow the construction of a church in Dobromyl to begin. The first temple was built of wood and burned down in 1535.

The new church of the Trinity was built approximately in the second half of the 16th century. The exact date of construction is unknown, historians proceed from the fact that the Herburt Chapel at the temple was built no earlier than 1622. The church was damaged during the Khmelnitsky uprising in 1648.

The subsequent owners of Dobromyl, the Michalskis, thoroughly repaired the temple at the beginning of the 18th century. and built a chapel of St. Kinga, the patroness of the highlanders who worked in the salt mines.

In 1772 side altars of Jan Nepomuk and St. Joseph. In 1793, by order of the Austrian government, the cemetery near the church was moved outside the city.

In 1884, the roof of the church was re-covered after a fire in 1870. At the same time, the church was somewhat rebuilt. A crucifix by the Krakow sculptor Vladislav Wislotsky and an image of the Mother of God by the artist Skopovsky appeared in the church. In 1910 a new bell tower was built.

Chapel of Queen Kinga
The chapel was built by the Michalskis at the beginning of the 18th century. A legend is associated with this shrine - Queen Kinga (Kunigunda, daughter of the Hungarian king Bela IV), wife of the Polish king Boleslav V the Shameful (became king in 1243), dropped a gold ring adorned with jewels into one of the Dobromyl salt mines, and the miners found it was returned to the queen. Kinga was subsequently considered the patroness of saltworkers. Left a widow, she gave the church a number of estates.

The chapel kept a sculpture of Queen Kinga dropping a ring into a shaft. The sculpture, carved from wood, had a rather significant size (at least 50 cm high). She disappeared during World War II. Under the Soviet regime, the chapel stood in an abandoned, emergency condition, then it was restored at the initiative of the leadership of the Stara Sambir Council.

Chapel of the Descent of the Holy Spirit
Located on Khyrivskaya street. According to legend, it was built even before the appearance of the first churches in Dobromyl (approximately in the 17th century), i.e. it is considered one of the first Christian shrines in the area. Near the chapel there is an ancient well, where, according to stories, there was a source of healing water.

During the First World War, the chapel was destroyed as a result of hostilities, however, around 1920, it was rebuilt by the owner of a small restaurant and meat shop in Dobromyl Malinovsky.

In the second half of the 20th century, when the massive destruction of Christian cultural monuments was carried out, this chapel was under constant threat, and, thanks to the inhabitants of the city, remained unharmed. Now the services of the Greek Catholic community are held in the chapel. Read completely ↓
