Saint Michael Archangel Church, Orthodox temple in Tobolsk, Russia.

Saint Michael Archangel Church stands at the corner of Lenin and Kirov streets in Tobolsk. It consists of a lower heated church dedicated to John the Apostle, consecrated in 1749, with a podklet at its base, and an upper unheated summer church consecrated the same year. The building retains 17th-century traditions while forming a Baroque silhouette through the projection of its volumes.

The stone church was founded in 1745 on the site of an earlier wooden church. Its lower warm church, dedicated to John the Theologian, and its upper summer church were both consecrated in 1749, and the whole building was completed in 1759. The architect was Kozma Cherepanov, though some sources name the master builder Kornily Perevolokovich Mikhailov. After the revolution the church was closed and housed the Khudozhestvenny cinema; the bell tower's octagonal tier was dismantled in the 1930s. Restoration from 1987 to 1989 returned the church to its original appearance, and in 2012 the Tyumen Oblast government allocated 60 million rubles for a second restoration phase.

The lower, heated church is dedicated to Saint John the Theologian and was consecrated in 1749, the same year as the upper summer church. In 1852, with the involvement of Decembrists Alexander Muravyov and Pyotr Svistunov, a women's school opened in the parish; it later became a gymnasium and is now School No. 1. In the 1830s many Decembrists and the painter Mikhail Znamensky attended services here.

The church stands at the intersection of Lenin and Kirov streets in Tobolsk. It is one of the oldest surviving churches in the city, so allow time to examine the exterior details and the interior of the lower warm church. The bell tower's octagonal tier was dismantled in the 1930s and restored in 1989.

The church stands at the corner of Lenin and Kirov streets. In the 1852 women's school founded in its parish by the Decembrists Alexander Muravyov and Pyotr Svistunov, pupils studied Church Slavonic, Russian, cosmography and geometry. The school later became a girls' gymnasium and is now School No. 1.
