Saint Michael's Church

Temple , Architecture

Saint Michael's Church in Polonky was built in 1777-1779 (according to another version in 1720) at the expense of Oleksandr Shylo, the priest's son.

The influence of the wooden folk architecture of Left Bank Ukraine is very noticeable in the architecture. Initially, the temple was single-domed, then two heads were added to it above the side chambers and stucco molding was added on the facades.

This is one of the most distinctive churches of the Ukrainian Baroque era in Chernihiv Region. The relics of Saint. Dimitry, Metropolitan of Rostov, are preserved in the Saint Michael's Church. Next to the temple is a holy spring, the water from which is attributed healing properties.
