Archangel Michael Church
The Church of Archangel Michael in Rokytne was built in 1805 at the expense of Colonel Mykhaylo Kulykovsky on the territory of his estate instead of the old wooden church.
The large stone building is made in the style of classicism. In plan, the temple is round, with two porticos protruding from the side of the porch and the altar. It is crowned by a dome on a drum with windows cut into it. In 1827, a graceful two-story stone belfry was erected. Its first tier was surrounded by columns, the second was decorated with flat pilasters. Unfortunately, the bell tower was destroyed during the Soviet era, when the church was closed.
In 1989, the Archangel Michael Church in Rokytne was returned to believers, in 1992 restoration began.
