History

Cherche is a village located 5 kilometers (approximately 3 miles) from the regional center of Rohatyn. It has a population of approximately 1,500 people. The village is surrounded by hills and sits above the river Potik.


The first written notation regarding Cherche dates back to 1443. However, people have lived in the area since the 13th century.


The name of the village is derived from a piece of land on which the first monks settled and later built their first monastery. At the beginning, the village was called Cherneche; it was later changed to Chernche, and finally it became Cherche, which is still in use today.
