Svirskaya Church, Stone church in Smolensk, Russia.
The Church of Archangel Michael stands as a pillar-shaped temple with traditional pre-Mongolian architectural elements and stone construction techniques from the 12th century.
Prince Davyd Rostislavich initiated the construction of this religious building between 1180 and 1197, making it one of three remaining pre-Mongol churches in Smolensk.
The church reflects the religious transitions of Smolensk, serving as both an Orthodox church and temporarily as a Catholic place of worship during Polish occupation.
Located between Ulitsa Parkovaya and Ulitsa Malokrasnoflotskaya, the church offers guided tours for visitors interested in learning about its architectural and religious significance.
The remains of original wall paintings and tiled flooring from medieval times persist within the church structure, providing direct connections to its 12th-century origins.
