Religion


The village is known for the St. Nicholas Church, which was constructed in 1848 and is a member church of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. The church has five domes in the typical diocesan style, with a main entrance consisting of three archways of decreasing size. The interior of the church features painted icons.

According to local legend, the church was never intended to be built in Dubliany, but rather in the much larger nearby city of Dubno. Following a successful petition to Tsar Alexander II, the Russian Imperial Treasury allocated funds for the construction of a church in Dubno, but due to a clerical error, the money was instead designated for Dubliany. By the time the people of Dubno had alerted the imperial government to this mistake, construction of the St. Nicholas Church was already underway and therefore the church was completed in Dubliany.
