Liuboml

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liuboml (Ukrainian: Любомль, translit. Liuboml’, Polish: Luboml) is a city located in the Volyn Oblast (province) in western Ukraine, close to the border with Poland. It is the administrative center of the Liubomlskyi Raion (district), and is located at around 51°13′60″N, 24°1′60″E.

In the 1930's this market town had a thriving Jewish community of perhaps 4,000 persons. It was called, in Yiddish, Libivne. The entire Jewish community was lost in the Holocaust. For a web site in remembrance of this vanished Jewish community, visit http://www.luboml.org. The current estimated population is around 10,400 (as of 2001).

The town's landmarks include St. George's Church, which was built in the 16th century in place of a 13th-century Orthodox church which previously occupied the site, and the Trinity Church, which goes back to 1412, but was subsequently rebuilt, with a belfry from 1640.
