The western part of the place is forested, to the south lies the Krasny Sapust forest with the highest elevation of the place of 272 m, to the north lies Chlopska Hora .
history
The place with the Polish name Mużyłowice was founded by the Mużyło family and first mentioned by the two brothers Herbert and Frydysz (Friedrich) Fullenstein on July 22, 1386. Mużyłowice was in the hands of this family until the late 16th century. After the family of "Mużyło" in Muzyla / Province Podolia became extinct in the 15th century, the possessions reverted to the king, who in 1604 the Star East from Jaworow Stanuislaw Stadnicki of Żmigród left. He bequeathed the place to the Jesuit college based in Lemberg . The Jesuit chapel existed from 1649 until the construction of the new chapel in 1761. The new chapel was built on the same front as the manor house. The chapel, which was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built of small bricks, covered with white tiles and had a small bell tower. In 1772 the place, like all of Galicia, became part of Austria , the Jesuit order was officially abolished in 1773 by Emperor Joseph II , as was the Lviv Jesuit College. The Jesuits left Mużyłowice. The place also had a large old brick castle. In the years 1780/81 the property of the local Jesuits was expropriated by Joseph II. The monastery was abolished. In order to prevent looting, the area was very quickly settled by Moravian families between July and August 1782. In all likelihood these were soldiers and their relatives. In 1783/84 another 27 families from Mährisch Neustadt came to settle. Most of them, however, emigrated to the Banat and Hungary . From 1867 the place was then politically subordinate to the Jaworów district and remained here until 1918, when the Second Polish Republic was founded and Galicia was attached to it. From 1919 it was then incorporated under the name Mużyłowice Narodowe in the Lemberg, Powiat Jaworów, Gmina Bruchnal Voivodeship.
Münchenthal or Mużyłowice Kolonia (in contrast, the original place was called Mużyłowice Narodowe ) was founded in 1783 as a purely Catholic settlement. In addition to the 101 resident families, 40 German colonist families from Württemberg , Alsace-Lorraine and the Mainz area were settled in Münchenthal . The total extent of the land distributed among the 141 farming families was 1292 yoke fields and 357 yoke meadows. Of this, 30 percent was allocated to the 40 colonist families. The colonists received no share of the 5.1150 yoke forest. The Greek-Catholic parish church of Archangel Michael belongs to Mużyłowice and belongs to the deanery of Sadowa-Wisznia / Przemyśl Diocese.
In 1939 the place was occupied by the Soviet Union during the Second World War , the previously independent places were united. In 1941 it came to the occupation by Germany, the place was integrated into the district Galizien (Kreishauptmannschaft Lemberg-Land, rural community Ozomla). The German Wehrmacht occupied Münchenthal again in June 1944 while retreating from the approaching Red Army. On July 29, 1944 , Lemberg was liberated from the Red Army, the two previously independent districts

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. For example, in 1869 there were 1185 inhabitants in 189 houses in Mużyłowice.
Roman Catholic Church in Münchenthal
Initially, the service was held in the chapel of the neighboring castle. The church of Münchenthal was described in the diocesan records of 1814 as a church made of stone and in good structural condition. The patron saint of the church was Saint Anthony of Padua. In 1854 the church was consecrated in the name of the Visitation of Mary. The altar for the parishioners was erected in 1871. But it was not until the years 1870 to 1875 that the church was finally completed and handed over to the parish in 1887.
Dimensions of the church :
- Length 26.5 m
- Ridge height 15.5 m
- Width 13.5 m
- Tower height 24 m
The bell tower was repaired in 1891. Only the first priest was German, all subsequent ones Polish. During the Russian occupation in World War I , at the end of 1914, the church was occupied and looted by the Russian army. The priest brought all important church utensils to safety beforehand. The bells were confiscated by the Austrian army in 1916/17. As early as 1925, the Münchenthalers donated two new bells and installed them in the two towers. The roof renovation was due at the end of the 1920s.
Current state of the church :
Ukrainian partisans ( UPA ) set fire to the church because of a quarrel with the Poles. This explains the current situation in 2000. Movable church goods were seized in the Rodatyce Church. The bell tower, the roof and a large part of the church are completely destroyed, everything makes a bleak impression, as the pictures from 1995 show. After 1945, the Russians built a kolkhoz in Münchenthal, using the church as a warehouse for fertilizer. According to a contemporary witness who left Münchenthal in 1942, the church was still in good condition at that time. After her return in 1945 she found the church destroyed. (Russian advance June / July 1944)
Cemetery :
The German cemetery is in poor condition. Most of the tombstones fell over and broke. The descendants of the settlers increasingly wanted a worthy memory of their ancestors. For this purpose, an epitaph was to be erected in the former cemetery. In 2005, the restoration of the Munich cemetery and the installation of an epitaph with the support of German, Canadian and American Münchenthal descendants were considered. After the planning work was completed in 2008, construction began and was completed in 2009 with the installation of the epitaph in the former cemetery.
The restored Roman Catholic German colonial cemetery Münchenthal and the large monument in Muschylowytschi were blessed and inaugurated on September 20, 2018 with over 170 participants. The Ukrainians from the village got together with German colonial descendants and visitors from Canada, the USA, Germany and Austria. This was the largest gathering of foreigners in the village since the arrival of the original German colonists more than 200 years ago in 1783. The service was held by Father Oleksandr Kusiy of the Lviv Roman Catholic Curia . It also took Ukrainian Greek Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox some priests. This was the first time since Ukraine gained independence in 1991 that the three denominations met for a service in Muschylovychi. The celebration of the day also included a Ukrainian meal in the village with an exhibition of historical books and maps about the village (Münchenthal). A tour of the former colony included visiting former houses of the descendants present, the former Roman Catholic Church, the old Greek Catholic wooden church from 1600 and other sights.
