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.[citation needed] The village is surrounded by hills and sits above the river Potik.

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

The name of the village is derived from a piece of land on which the first monks settled and later built their first monastery.[citation needed] 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.[citation needed]
