history
The place was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1149, was granted Magdeburg city charter in 1564 and was later named Ołyka until 1795 as part of the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania in the Volhynian Voivodeship . Then it came to the newly founded Volhynia Governorate as part of the Russian Empire . The large estate and the chateau originally belonged to the Kiszka family and then, together with Njaswisch chateau , to the Radziwiłł family from 1533 to 1945 .
Austrian troops were in the city during the First World War and on September 11, 1915, the first performance of the Rainermarsch took place, which was composed for the Kuk_Infanterieregiment_Nr._59 . After the end of the First World War, the place became part of the Second Polish Republic ( Volyn Voivodeship , Powiat Łuck, Gmina Ołyka). As a result of the Hitler-Stalin Pact , the Soviet Union occupied the area in 1939. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, the place was under German rule until 1944. The Jewish community, which had lived in Olyka since the late 16th century , was murdered on July 29, 1942 during the Holocaust . The wooden synagogue from the late 19th century was then destroyed.
After the Second World War , Olyka came back to the Soviet Union and was incorporated into the Ukrainian SSR . Since 1940 the place had the status of an urban-type settlement, in 1991 the settlement came to the newly formed Ukraine.
