==History ==

{{Main|Pidkamin massacre}} During the Massacres of Poles in Volhynia, Pidkamin was a shelter for Poles, who fled to its monastery. Some 2,000 people, mostly women and children, were living there when the monastery was attacked in mid-March 1944 by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, cooperating with the Waffen SS. Around 300 Poles were murdered in the monastery, and additional 500 were killed in the town of Pidkamin itself.<ref name=motyka>Grzegorz Motyka, Ukraińska Partyzantka 1942-1960, Warszawa 2006</ref> In the nearby village of Palikrovy, 300 Poles were killed, 20 in Maliniska and 16 in Chernytsia. Armed Ukrainian groups destroyed the monastery, stealing all valuables save for the monastery's crowned icon.<ref name=motyka />

== Status == From 1940 to 1959 Pidkamin was an administrative center of Pidkamin Raion. Until 18 July 2020, it belonged to Brody Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Brody Raion was merged into Zolochiv Raion.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
