History and Attractions
The first record of the village dates back to 1574.[5]
Until 18 July 2020, Holovetsko 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]
In the village was an architectural monument of local importance to Stryi Raion — Church of the Epiphany (wooden) 1873, (1494-М).[8] The church burned down January 28, 2007.[9]
