History

A burial mound in Piadyky dates back to the Bronze Age. It was first mentioned in writing in 1480, as a village under property of a landlord. The village's residents participated in the Khmelnytsky uprising, leading to a complaint by a local landlord to Władysław IV Vasa, King of Poland, over the damages. Piadyky became part of the Austrian Empire after the partitions of Poland, and a local branch of Prosvita operated in the village starting in the late 19th century.^[2]

In 1939, according to Volodymyr Kubijovyč, Piadyky had a population of 2,460. Of this population, 2,030 were Ukrainians, 290 Latynnyky, 80 Polish people, (including 60 Osadniks), 30 Jews, and 30 Germans.^[3] The wooden church in the village, the Church of the Intercession, was first mentioned in 1680, and rebuilt most recently in 1840. The church is currently unused, with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate constructing a brick church in 2008.^[4]
