History

The first written mention of Bohorodchany dates back to 1441. It says that the owner of Bohorodchany was Jan from Buchach. The inhabitants of the village have been engaged in handicrafts and farming since ancient times. Among the specialties of artisans the most common were: tailoring and weaving. This is evidenced by the names of streets that have survived to this day: Tkatska, Riznycha. In the second half of the 15th century, the Bohorodchany became the property of the Potocki nobles.In 1691, by order of Countess K. Potocka, a church was built in Bohorodchany, surrounded by a group of petty gentry and several dozen artisans from Poland. The church became the center of Catholicization.

The half-bastion and the curtain on the site of the modern stadium were probably lost during the capture of the fortress.
