Budaniv
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Budaniv (Ukrainian: Буданів, Polish: Budzanów, Russian: Буданов Budanov) is a village in Ternopil Oblast, Western Ukraine, near Chortkiv, Buchach. Population: 1,634 (2005).
The settlement was founded in 1549 on the banks of the Siret River. The village was named after a Polish nobleman, Yakub Budzanov, Halitz voevode. Mountainous terrain of the region always attracted new settlers and about 1550 a wooden castle was built up on the peak of one of the hills. The castle was rebuilt in the beginning of 17th century. The castle was ruined by the Turks in 1675. In 1765 Mary Pototzky, a Polish countess, founded a Catholic church on the castle's ruins.
