In the Lviv region, not far from the Ukrainian-Polish border, there is the ancient town of Dobromyl.
Since 1374, Dobromyl and the villages around it have belonged to the Gerburt brothers, representatives of an ancient noble family. They built castles, churches, defensive fortifications here... Later, craft workshops worked here, merchants traded briskly at large fairs, and there was even their own printing house.
However, Dobromyl has always been at the epicenter of historical events. There were wars and the borders of the empires to which this region belonged changed. Often, attempts were made to erase or "correct" history here, to destroy the cultural heritage of previous generations.
Now, caring natives of Dobromyl are reviving the history of the town: they study, save, and restore its numerous monuments. An active philanthropist — engineer and entrepreneur Andriy Pushak — has become a partner of our new issue, "Antiquary" No. 139, in which we tell about Dobromyl, its past and present.
