## History and Attractions

[edit]

The official founding year of the village is considered to be 1493. [3]

During the Second Polish Republic, until 1934, the village was an independent commune in Kamionecki County of the Tarnopol Voivodeship. On August 1, 1934, in connection with the administrative reforms, it was incorporated into the newly created rural collective commune of Żelechów Wielki (and partly into the commune of Kamionka Strumiłowa) in the same county and voivodeship. Po wojnie wieś weszła w struktury administracyjne Związku Radzieckiego. After the World War II, the village entered the administrative structures of the Soviet Union.

Until 18 July 2020, Spas belonged to Kamianka-Buzka Raion. However, the raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of a series of administrative reforms in Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions in Lviv Oblast down to seven. The area of Kamianka-Buzka Raion was also split between the Chervonohrad and Lviv Raions, with Spas being transferred to the Lviv Raion.[4][5]

The village has an architectural monument of local importance to the Kamianka-Buzka Raion.[6] The Church of the Transfiguration which was built in the early 20th century (2300M) in located in the village. There is also a public park to the village's immediate south.
