In 1905, a railway was laid through the village, connecting Lviv, Sambir, Turka, and Uzhhorod. The village has a railway station. Additionally, a national road of significance, connecting Lviv to Uzhhorod, passes through the village.

In 1928, the local school had 60 students.

Infrastructure of the village as of 2022 includes a church, a unique monument of Galician architecture – a three-tiered bell tower, a mini-museum of folk life, a tourist campsite, a private ethnographic homestead, a secondary school, shops, and a railway station.

In 2023, the village of Yasenytsia-Zamkova, together with surrounding villages, became part of the historical and tourist route network "BoykoMandry," created with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation and the Strilky rural hromada.[2] [3]
