Lymanske (Ukrainian: Лиманське, Russian: Лиманское) is a town in the Rozdilnianskyi Raion of the Odessa Oblast in Ukraine. It is located along the east side of the Kuchurhan Reservoir on the border with Transnistria in Moldova.
History
Assumption Church in Selz (beginning of 20th century)
Trinity Church in Kandel (1934)
The villages of Selz (named after Seltz in Alsace) and Kandel were established at this location along the Kuchurhan River in 1808 by Roman Catholic German and Alsatian (French citizens) immigrants to the Kutschurgan Valley, then part of the Russian Empire. It received its present name after the remaining German residents were driven from the area by the advancing Soviet army in 1944.
