Saint Michael's Church
The spectacular Saint Michael's Church in Voronizh is a masterpiece of the late Ukrainian Baroque. It was built in 1781-1786 according to the project of the architect Ivan Hryhorovych-Barsky (according to another version - Rastavelli).
According to the plan, it is close to the Holy Intercession Church built by Hryhorovych-Barsky on Podil in Kyiv. A distinctive feature of the architecture is the combination of architectural techniques used in the construction of Orthodox and Catholic churches, which is practically not found in religious buildings of the Left Bank of Ukraine. Thematic high-reliefs depicting the apostles were used to decorate the exterior surface of the church.
The interiors were painted by the outstanding Ukrainian artist Mykola Murashko.
