History

Until 18 July 2020, Hnizdychiv belonged to Zhydachiv 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 Zhydachiv Raion was merged into Stryi Raion.^[5][6]

Until 26 January 2024, Hnizdychiv was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Hnizdychiv became a rural settlement.^[7]

Hnizdychiv contains Saint Gerard Catholic Church.^[8]
