A new stone church was built on this site and consecrated in 1791. In the process of erecting the temple, it was decided to build a building with two floors. This led to the fact that the first floor was built in the Baroque style, and the second - in the Empire style. In addition, the upper one (not originally planned) was consecrated in honor of John the Baptist later - in 1824.
OnOn the walls of the temple, the original painting of the 19th century, which depicts biblical scenes, is still preserved. In 1991, the Church of the Archangel Michael was restored.
