Kalyniv


Kalyniv is a village in Sambir Raion, Lviv Oblast, in south-west Ukraine.
The village was established in the course of Josephine colonization by German Roman Catholic settlers in 1783. In the planning process the village was to have a Catholic church built, which, however, did not happen.
From 1918 to 1939 the village was in Lwów Voivodeship in Poland. In 1940 the local German population was moved out, later replaced by Ukrainians.
