The village of Pylypivka on the Kamyanka River is located 15 kilometers south of Fastiv.
It was first mentioned in 1654. According to legend, the first settler was a certain Pylyp Sidko, after whom the village was named Pylypivka.
The wooden parish church, which was built in 1784, burned down in 1825. At the request of the villagers, in 1836-1843, Countess Oleksandra Branytska from Bila Tserkva built the stone Michael's Church, which is currently being restored.

Saint Michael's Church
Temple , Architecture
Saint Michael's Church was built in the village of Pylypivka in 1843 on the site of a burned down wooden church founded in 1784.
For help in the construction of a new stone church, the residents of Pylypivka turned to Countess Oleksandra Branytska, maid of honor of Catherine II, niece of Prince Hrihoriy Potomkin, founder of the Oleksandriya Arboretum in Bila Tserkva. Countess Branytska allocated funds for construction, as she promised to build 12 churches on her lands. Saint Michael's Church was built for 9 years and the countess did not live to see it consecrated.
During the Soviet era, the temple was closed, but now it is active again.
Paintings of Mykhaylo Vrubel's students have been preserved in the interiors.
