History and attractions

The first written mention of the village Rosochach was from 1561, during the colonization of Skole District in the 16th century.[7]

Until 18 July 2020, Rosokhach 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.[8] [9]

In the village, there is an architectural monument of local importance of Stryi Raion.[10] It is a wooden church St. of Archangel Michael, 1882.
