history

The place was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1441 and was initially in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania in the Ruthenian Voivodeship , came to Austrian Galicia in 1772 as Podkamień (from 1867 in the Brody district ) and was the seat of a district court from 1911. From 1918 to 1939 it was part of the Polish Republic (in the powiat Brody, Tarnopol Voivodeship ), after the end of the Second World War the place fell to the Soviet Union, since 1991 it has been part of today's Ukraine. In 1940/1944 the village, now called Podkamen / Pidkamin, received the status of an urban-type settlement, until 1959 it was also the district center of the Pidkamin district of the same name .

The history of the place is closely connected with the Dominican monastery which was built on the Inselberg in the local area. As a result of the Josephinian reforms, the monastery lost a lot of its significance, and in 1915 it was badly damaged by Russian artillery fire in the course of the First World War .

During the Second World War, the Pidkamin massacre occurred on March 12, 1944 , carried out by units of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army in cooperation with the 14th Galician SS Volunteer Division .
