Volodymyrets

Volodymyrets lies in the forest country of northern Volhynia, among the rivers and wetlands of Polesia. A tax register of 1570 describes it as an old settlement in the Lutsk district. Its name and the surrounding villages belong to a landscape shaped by woods, marshes and the waterways leading towards the Styr and Horyn. The district formed part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the early modern period.
