history

In May 1685 Voivode Feliks Kazimierz Potocki bought a new piece of land on the Bug River. In 1692 he founded a town in the area of the village Nowy Dwór , which was named after his wife Krystyna Lubomirski (1661–1699). Potocki expanded Krystonopil into a family seat and died here on September 22nd, 1702. His grandson Franciszek Salezy Potocki built a palace and in 1763 founded a monastery of the Basilian people .

At this time the village was administratively part of the Bełz Voivodeship within the aristocratic republic of Poland . After the 1st partition of Poland , the village came to Austrian Galicia in 1772 , where it remained until 1918.

After the end of the First World War , the place came first to the West Ukrainian People's Republic and then to the Second Polish Republic (in the Lviv Voivodeship , Powiat Sokal , Gmina Krystynopol ). During the Second World War , the city was occupied by the Soviet Union from September 1939 as part of the Soviet occupation of eastern Poland and by Germany from summer 1941 to 1944 and incorporated into the Galicia district.

After the end of the war, the village became part of Poland again , but came back to the Soviet Union on January 15, 1951 as part of an exchange of territory . There the city was assigned to the Ukrainian SSR and renamed Tscherwonohrad (literally "Red Castle") on November 3rd. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, it has been part of independent Ukraine.

The village received a rail connection in 1884 with the construction of a train station on what is now the Jarosław – Kowel line . In 1915 a connection line to Lemberg was added (see Lviv – Kiverti line ).
