General information about Kozhychi

The village of Kozhichi is located on a small hill at the exit from Lviv in the direction of Yavoriv and the Ukrainian-Polish border crossing "Krakovets", near the beginning of the Lviv district. Kozhichi were first mentioned in documents in 1518, although the first settlement appeared here in the 4th-6th centuries. The name is probably associated with the main activity of the population - artisans who were engaged in leather dressing lived here. The wooden church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (1870) has survived - a three-frame one-topped temple with a small bathhouse, which is completed by a traditional lantern with a dome.

Село Кожичі розташоване на невеликій височині на виїзді зі Львова в бік Яворова та українсько-польського прикордонного переходу "Краковець", поруч з початком львівської окружної. Вперше Кожичі згадуються в документах 1518 року, хоча перше поселення з'явилося тут ще в IV-VI ст. Назва, ймовірно, пов'язана з основною діяльністю населення - тут жили ремісники, які займалися вичинкою шкіри. Збереглася дерев'яна церква Воздвиження Чесного Хреста (1870 р.) - тризрубний одноверхий храм з невеликою банею, яку завершує традиційний ліхтар з куполом.
