Saint Michael's Church (Ukrainian: Церква Святого Архистратига Михаїла) is a Greek Catholic parish church (UGCC) in Rudnyky of the Mykolaiv urban hromada, Stryi Raion, Lviv Oblast.
History
The brick church, modeled after St Andrew's Church, was built in 1885 by a local resident Skolozdra (founder Theodozii Polianskyi), who replaced an older wooden church built in 1723 that burned down in 1880. The newly built church was consecrated in 1889.[1][2]
Two antimensions (1713, 1723) from Bishops Varlaam Barlaam and Athanasius Sheptytskyi were kept in the shrine.[2]
In 1905–1912, the church was painted (part of the mural was restored), and icons for the iconostasis were painted. All of these works were performed by the artist Teofil Kopystynskyi.[2]
