Temple , Architecture
The wooden Michael's Church in Pidhirtsi near Kyiv was built in 1742 on the initiative of the abbess of the Frolivsky Monastery on the site of the destroyed Peter and Paul Church in honor of the Miracle of Archangel Michael. A bell tower was added in the 19th century.
Due to the almost identical dimensions of the log cabins united under a common roof, the church resembles the oldest Klitschian type of wooden temples, characteristic of the princely era. The main feature of this is the location at the base of the building of the simplest wooden structure - a cage, that is, a log cabin formed by crowns of logs laid one on top of another.
Paintings and carvings of the 19th century have been preserved in the interior of Church in honor of the Miracle of Archangel Michael. The ensemble of the church and bell tower is a typical example of Ukrainian wooden architecture of the 19th century, an architectural monument of national importance.
