Pidkamin Monastery, Dominican monastery in Pidkamin, Ukraine

The monastery includes fortified walls, towers, and a church building positioned near a notable rock formation rising above the settlement.

Founded in 1464, the monastery became a refuge for 2,000 Polish civilians during World War II before enduring a devastating attack in March 1944.

The monastery held the crowned icon of the Virgin Mary, which drew numerous pilgrims until its relocation to Wrocław, Poland after World War II.

Visitors can reach the monastery ruins by taking a regional bus from Lviv to Pidkamin, with guided tours available through local tourism offices.

The monastery walls bear bullet marks from the 1944 conflict, providing physical evidence of the wartime events that occurred at this religious site.
