Church of the Holy Archangel Michael

This is the first example of Ukrainian Art Nouveau in monumental church mural painting not only in Galicia but also in Ukraine, created in 1908-1909 by the founder of this artistic movement, the prominent artist Modest Sosenko. Together with the preserved complex of stained-glass windows in the altar of the same artist, the mural forms a homogeneous iconographic ensemble of the church's interior. It was the monumental paintings in this church that made M. Sosenko famous throughout the region.

At the end of the nineteenth century in Pidberiztsi, on the site of the old wooden church, it became necessary to build a new, brick church. The architectural and design bureau of Ivan Levynskyi, a prominent Ukrainian urbanist and the largest builder of Lviv in its history, was involved in the construction. The architectural forms, planning and spatial solutions, and the entire complex of decorative and finishing works both in the exterior and interior of the church of 1891 were performed by the enterprises of this prominent architect. The result is a somewhat unusual cross-domed church building with shortened side frames, but a very long nave, which, together with the narthex, forms an elongated basilica-like space. Triangular pediments close all the frames of the church's spatial cross, with the exception of the eastern semicircular altar part. It is designed in the form of a medieval Romanesque rotunda with a rose window in the center. Above the middle aisle.
