Town of Pidkamin is known for a Dominican monastery.
The complex is surrounded by walls and is located on the Rosary Hill that dominates the surrounding area.
It was first established by twelve monks from a monastery in Kiev, in 13thc. During the 17th century a fortified abbey was constructed.
The Soviets turned the monastery into jail and later a psychiatric hospital for women (which still exists) and the church was turned into a stable.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the emergence of independent Ukraine, the ruins of the monastery were given to Ukrainian Greek Catholic Studite Monks.
The towers and the church (1612-95) are now under reconstruction.
