Saint Michael's Church

Temple , Architecture

Saint Michael's Church in Horodyshche was built in the Neo-Gothic style in 1844 at the expense of Count Mykhaylo Vorontsov, according to the project of the Italian architect Dzhordzho Torrichelli.

In Soviet times, it was closed, the bell tower was dismantled, and a sports hall was built in the church itself. Paintings of the 19th century were whitewashed.

In the 1990s, the church was restored, the bell tower was rebuilt, and the painting "The Last Judgment" (area 102 square meters) was washed and restored.

The architecture of Staint Michael's Church is very unusual for an Orthodox church. Neo-Gothic architecture is reminiscent of Catholic churches, and the tines on the belfry, orange walls and green roof make the temple look like a fairy-tale castle.
