Rozkishna

Rozkishna lies on the southern bank of the Hnylyi Tikych, beside the settlement of Stavyshche. The two were historically closely connected across the river. In the seventeenth century Stavyshche was a fortified Cossack town, enclosed by a palisade and towers, and its inhabitants took part in the uprising led by Bohdan Khmelnytsky. The fighting that followed brought devastation to the district before settlement gradually recovered.
