History

The village of Polianytsia was first mentioned in 1820. During the early 20th century, the village was developed at the behest of Johann II, Prince of Liechtenstein, who owned several properties within the village. A church was built under his supervision in 1912. During World War II, the church, along with the village's school, was destroyed by German forces, and 40 of the town's 300 pre-war residents remained in the village by the war's end. The village is inhabited by ethnic Hutsuls.[3]

The village is home to the Bukovel ski resort.[4]
