Saint Michael the Archangel Church

Temple , Architecture

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.

Like many wooden churches in Transcarpathia, Michael's Church was not spared the fate of being buried alive in a metal sarcophagus, which hid the original patterns of wall and roof cladding with shingles.
