geography
Dobrostany is about 9 km north of Horodok and about 30 km from Lviv by a dammed pond.
The former village of Weissenberg, which lies south of the actual village, has risen up in the village today. The localities Sastawlja / Заставля and Hirski / Гірскі also belong to Dobrostany today.
History of the colony Weissenberg
The village of Weissenberg was laid out as a colony around 1784 on the Meierhofs grounds there and the Dominikal grounds separated from Kammienobrod. The settlers were German-speaking and came from different territories of the (old) German Empire. The records from 1789 show that 42 colonists were settled and the total area of the colony was 797 yoke. The houses stretched along the street. The school stood in the middle of the street village. Right next to the school, only separated by a dirt road, the Roman Catholic Church of St. Vendelin, built in 1807, jutted out over the houses with its bell tower. The descendants of the colonists were voluntarily relocated to the so-called Warthegau or the so-called Altreich in 1939/40 on the basis of the German-Soviet border and friendship treaty . In the Federal Republic of Germany, the resettlers had refugee status.
Today Weissenberg, which was called Białogóra and Ukrainian Біла Гора ( Bila Hora ) when Western Ukraine belonged to the Polish state territory , is a Ukrainian village.
The name of the German colony Weissenberg
The name of the colony Weissenberg is likely to have been adopted in memory of the town of Weissenberg in the Palatinate Forest, south of Kaiserslautern.

Most places did not only consist of the so-called colonies of the settlers, but were also home to Poles, Ruthenians and possibly also Jews, so that the total number of inhabitants of the places amounted to significantly more people.
Roman Catholic Church in Weissenberg
In the first years after the settlement, Weissenberg was looked after by the Roman Catholic parish in the district town of Grodek-Jagiellonski. Around 1810 Weissenberg became an independent parish, which Ottenhausen joined as a branch church.
