Zhupany (Ukrainian: Жупани́ or Жупа́нє, Polish: Żupanie) is a village (selo) in Stryi Raion, Lviv Oblast, of western Ukraine. It is located in the Ukrainian Carpathians, within limits of the Eastern Beskids on the border of the Zakarpattia Oblast. Zhupany belongs to Kozova rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] The village has around 1277 inhabitants.iLocal government is administered by Zhupanivska village council.[2]
The village is located along the upper reaches of the Stryi River in between mountains, close to Verecke Pass.
It is situated in the distance 153km (95miles) from the regional center of Lviv, 44km (27miles) from the district center Skole, and 115km (71miles) from Uzhhorod.[3]
The first written mention of Zhupany dates back to the year 1515.[4] Zhupany was in 1867 visited by Ivan Franko and Osyp Makovei.[5]
Until 18 July 2020, Nyzhnie Synovydne 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.[6] [7]
The village has an architectural monument of local importance of Stryi Raion, a wooden St. Michael the Archangel Church built in 1927 (2913-M).[8]
