місто Горохів
Вперше Горохів згадується у документах 1450 року...
Gorokhiv was first mentioned in documents in 1450. In the first half of the 15th century Gorokhiv belonged to the Grand Duke of Lithuania Svidrigaila Olgerdovych. In 1450, by a charter of the Polish-Lithuanian King Casimir IV Jagiellonian, Gorokhiv and the surrounding villages were awarded to the nobleman Olizar Shilovych for his services to Svidrigaila.
In 1487 a settlement of Gorokhiv came into possession of the Sangushevych dukes who made later known as Sanguszko-Koshirskyi family.
In 1571 Gorokhiv had already a status of a small town. On 26 July 1600, it was granted the Magdeburg right by Hryhorii Lvovych, Lev Sanguszko-Koshirskyi’s son. This charter was approved by King Sigismund III Vaza on March 10, 1601 at the Free Sejm in Warsaw.
At the expense of the Sanguszko family, a church was built in Gorokhiv in 1619 – the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Discovery of the Holy Cross. Duke Hryhorii Sanguszko made a will that he should be buried in this church.
Alas, the church has not reached our days. The monument related to the Sanguszko family has been lost forever.
