Saint Michael's Church, Rudnyky, Lviv Oblast

Saint Michael's Church () 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.

Two antimensions (1713, 1723) from Bishops Varlaam and Athanasius Sheptytskyi were kept in the shrine.

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.
