Its founders were Lviv monks Anastasius and Joel, who acted with the assistance of local patrons — the starosts of
Mostyska and
Sudova Vyshnia,
Jan Szczęsny Herburt and his wife, Princess Yelyzaveta Zaslavska. Initially, wooden churches were built on the monastery grounds:
St. Nicholas (demolished in 1818) and
St. Elijah (sold to the village of near
Przemyśl in 1772). After the of the Order of St. Basil the Great in 1882, the Dobromyl Monastery acquired special significance, becoming the center of the Order's restoration. Many future prominent figures served as novices here, including , , , S.-
S. Ortynskyi,
E.-I. Lomnytskyi, , and
Andrey Sheptytsky. In 1886,
Pope Leo XIII gave the monastery the relics of Saint Pasyv, the martyr, which, however, due to the significant dampness of the walls, were transferred to the
Krekhiv Monastery in 1902. After 1905, the Basilians left Dobromyl, and the monastery gradually fell into disrepair. It was only restored in 1928 under the leadership of Hegumen Y. Labaia. Philosophical studies were reopened here, followed by higher secondary school studies of the Basilian Order. In 1931, the monastery became the venue for the General Chapter of the Basilian Order, at which D.-D. Tkachuk was elected archimandrite. == References ==
