Saint Michael the Archangel Church
The Church of Saint Archangel Michael in the Transcarpathian village of Vyshka is a monument of wooden architecture of national importance.
It has the features of a classic temple of the Boyko school of architecture: three log cabins made of spruce beams on a stone foundation, placed in a row along a longitudinal line from west to east, covered with tent vaults, each topped with a crown.
Initially, the central log house was higher than the others, but in the second half of the 18th century, the tented top above the babinsek was replaced by a frame belfry, which became higher.

Церква Святого Архангела Михаїла в закарпатському селі Вишка – пам'ятка дерев'яного зодчества національного значення.
Має риси класичного храму бойківської архітектурної школи: три зруби з ялинових брусів на кам'яному фундаменті, поставлені поспіль по поздовжній лінії із заходу на схід, перекриті шатровими склепіннями, кожен увінчаний маківкою.
Спочатку центральний зруб був вищим за інші, але в другій половині XVIII сторіччя шатровий верх над бабинцем замінили на каркасну дзвіницю, яка стала вище.
Як багато дерев'яних церков на Закарпатті, Михайлівську церкву не оминула доля бути заживо похованою в металевому саркофазі, що приховав під собою оригінальні візерунки обшивки стін та даху гонтом.
