Recreational complex "Cedar Chamber" (Sheptytsky's Dacha) Osmoloda
"The Cedar Chamber, also known as Sheptytsky's Dacha, is a recreational complex in the Pidliutomyi (Pidliute) tract on the Limnytsia River, which is considered the cleanest in Europe. In 1892, Lviv Metropolitan of the UGCC S. Sembratovych bought 6 hectares of land on the slope of Liuta Mountain near the healing hydrogen sulfide springs and built a summer metropolitan residence there. The house was named "Cedar Chamber" because it was built of cedars that still grow in the area. Three swimming pools were equipped with symbolic names Sylvester, Andriy, and Titus. Aristocrats from all over Austria-Hungary, and later Poland, came to the Pidliutne tract to rest and receive treatment.
During the First World War, the residence burned down, but it was soon restored by Metropolitan A. Sheptytsky. Five houses were built, which could accommodate up to 400 people at a time. Near the residence there was a stone grotto with a cross on it. In Soviet times, the dacha was used by the party elite as a hunting lodge. In 1999, the Cedar Chambers were returned to the Ivano-Frankivsk Eparchy of the UGCC. Now it is the diocesan retreat center "Pidliutomo tract".
In addition to the three main mineral healing springs, guests were attracted to hunting in the forest area. Today, the Cedar Chambers residence serves as a resort and recreation complex. The church next to the house has been restored, and its uniqueness lies in its interior decorated mosaics.
