Saint Michael's Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Arkhangelskoye, Russia.

Saint Michael's Church is the oldest building at Arkhangelskoye, erected in 1660–1667 on the high bank of the Moskva River. Its central cube and two chapels set diagonally are crowned with rows of kokoshniks and single onion domes. Inside, vaulted ceilings rest on only two pillars, making the small exterior feel spacious within.

The building was constructed in 1660 as part of the larger Arkhangelskoye Estate, developing alongside the property's growth over centuries. Its creation reflects the architectural traditions of the period and remains connected to the estate's noble heritage.

The church remains an active place of Orthodox worship and functions as part of the Arkhangelskoye Estate Museum. Visitors notice how the space serves both spiritual practice and heritage preservation in the present day.

The church is located within the Arkhangelskoye Estate Museum grounds and can be visited during the site's operating hours. Visitors should allow time to explore both the interior and the surrounding grounds of this religious building.

The church's vaulted ceilings rest on only two pillars, so the interior feels far larger than the miniature exterior suggests. By the south wall lies the grave of Princess Tatiana Nikolaevna Yusupova (1868–1888), who died of typhus at twenty; Mark Antokolsky's sculpture Angel of Prayer stood on the slab until 1936, when it was moved to the Tea House to protect it from the weather.
