History

Cherche is a village located 5 kilometers (approximately 3 miles) from the regional center of Rohatyn. It has a population of approximately 1,500 people. The village is surrounded by hills and sits above the river Potik.

The first written notation regarding Cherche dates back to 1443.[1] However, people have lived in the area since the 13th century.

There are notes about priest (and hence church) and 2 fields circa 50 hectares in tax register of year 1515.[2]

The name of the village is derived from a piece of land on which the first monks settled and later built their first monastery. At the beginning, the village was called Cherneche; it was later changed to Chernche, and finally it became Cherche, which is still in use today.
