History and Attractions

The first written record of the village dates from 1556.[3] The first name of the village was Malyy Ilnychok, later - Dolske. Only after 1945 the village has been called Dovzhky.

Until 18 July 2020, Dovzhky belonged to Skole Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Skole Raion was merged into Stryi Raion.[4] [5]

In the village, there is one architectural monument of local importance of Stryi Raion.[6] It is a wooden Church of the Entry of the Most Holy Mother of God into the Temple (1912) and wooden Belltower.[7]
