Church of St. Archangel Michael in Mihalishki

Day by day Saint Mikhvil Arkhangel's church attracts fans of refined architecture. Look at a photo: strict, somewhere even the ascetic, external appearance of the temple imitates the aggressive person of the medieval castle. But it is worth glancing inside - you will be struck by contrast and interiors, rich in a stucco molding. It is the temple, the first in the territory of Belarus, in style of «Sarmatian» baroque built on the project of the Belgian architect Krishtof Pens. Which, has by the way, based the whole dynasty of architects and decorators in Grand Duchy of Lithuania. And the temple in honor of the main patron of grand-ducal lands - Mikhail Arkhangel is lit.
