History and attractions

The first written mention of Zhupany dates back to the year 1515.[4] Zhupany was in 1867 visited by Ivan Franko and Osyp Makovei.[5]

Until 18 July 2020, Nyzhnie Synovydne belonged to Skole Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Skole Raion was merged into Stryi Raion.[6][7]

The village has an architectural monument of local importance of Stryi Raion, a wooden St. Michael the Archangel Church built in 1927 (2913-M).[8]
