Description:
Church of the Archangel Michael, Rudnyky village, Stryi district
Abstract:

In 1884, construction began on the stone church of St. Michael the Archangel in the village of Rudnyky in the Lviv region, which was consecrated in 1889. The model for the architecture of the new church was the Kyivan cathedral, which locals went to see on the advice of the wife of the church's patron, Theodosius Poliansky. The architectural design was developed by Skolozdra from Rudnyky. The church is cruciform in plan and has seven domes. The icons for the iconostasis and the mural were painted by the famous artist Theophilus Kopystynskyi (part of the mural has been restored). The artist worked in this church from 1905 to 1912. This was the last and longest work of the talented artist, which he spoke of as his best work.
