St. Michael's Church, Berehomet
In the very center, at the corner of the road leading from Vyzhnytsia and Tsentralna Street, stands the stone St . Michael's Church, directly connected to the Vasylko family. The church was built in 1888 at the expense of representatives of this famous family. Previously, an older church built by Oleksandr Vasylko in 1773 and moved to the village of Dolishnii Shepit in 1889 was located near the modern church on the site of the cemetery. An old memorial cross installed in the fenced area of the cemetery informs about this.
Berehomet is an urban-type settlement. The Seret River flows through the village. There is a mountain called Stizhok near the river. According to one theory, the name Berehomet comes from the German word Berg (mountain). According to another version, the name Berehomet comes from the fact that the Seret River "throws its banks".
Berehomet has several monuments associated with the life of the noble Vasylko family (Mykola Vasylko, a politician who devoted most of his life to defending the rights of Ukrainians in the Austrian Empire). The most striking building, the Vasylkiv Castle, which existed in the early twentieth century, has not been preserved in its original form. At 12 Tsentralna Street, the former summer residence of the Vasylko family (now the village hospital) has been preserved. In 1890, Mykola Vasylko founded the Berehomet Arboretum. It covers an area of 1 hectare and is home to 54 species of trees and shrubs. The pearl of the park is two golden larch trees.
Today, the population of the village is 7741 people.
