Attractions of Isai

The wooden church of Archangel Michael in the village of Isai was built in 1663 by the master Ilya Pantelimon, as evidenced by the carved inscription on the western door. This is one of the oldest wooden churches in Lviv region, a unique example of Boyko folk architecture, which is part of the "original Carpathian trinity" (churches in Skole, Verkhnia Rozhanka and Isai).

Architecturally, the St. Michael's Church belongs to the Drohobych school of architecture, the characteristic features of which are three monumental onion-shaped baths, an additional church emporium under the dome above the nave, and a vestibule on columns. In addition, the building is one of the few existing examples of a church with a krylas (platform for singers).

The interior preserves the ancient three-tiered iconostasis with the "Tree of Jesse" Royal Gate, 17th-century wall painting, 18th-century banners, authentic castles and a cenotaph. The icons of famous artists of the end of the 19th century Ivan and Vasyl Chayka, created in 1897, are stored in the church. Restoration is in progress.

Michael's Church in the village of Isai is an architectural monument of national importance. Nearby is a wooden bell tower from 1722. Restoration is underway.
