Rokhmaniv (Ukrainian: Рохманів) is a village in the Shumsk Raion (district) of the Ternopil Oblast (province) in western Ukraine near Kremenets in historical province of Volhynia.

History

The village is mentioned since 1513 as Pihasy that belonged to Litvin boyar Mykhailo Bohush as most of the today's territory of Shumsk Raion. The descendant of Mykhailo Bohush, Waclaw Bohowityn, married Zofia Michajlowna Czartoryska (Czartoryski) who after the death of her husband became the owner of the settlement. After her death, the settlement was transferred to her brothers Jerzy and Michal Czartoryski. On 10 December 1605 Jerzy Chartoryski gave up his estate to the Prince Michał Wiśniowiecki and his wife Regina Wisniowiecka (nee Mohilanka). In 1675-76 the town was completely destroyed by Tatars.

Later Rokhmaniv belonged to Mikołaj Bazyli Potocki and other members of Potocki family.
