The Church of St. Michael the Archangel, cultural and architectural monument of the 17th century. Was built in 1650. Located near the town of the Island, at the mouth of the river Kohwi. In ancient times, there lived the solitary man, that is single landless peasants, who usually lived in such churchyards. The churchyard of St. Michael is located on the Velikaya river, on its left Bank. It is a very picturesque place. The exact construction date of the temple of Archangel Michael and the other bodiless powers unknown. However, all assumptions indicate that it belongs approximately to the 15th century. Thus, this temple is the oldest in the area. Its walls, which for over five centuries, testify to this.

According to Church records, in 1790, was attached to the right side-altar in the name of the Mother of God Hodegetria. Funds for the construction of the temple was donated by a landowner Alexey Pozdeev. Previously, the Church was painted, as evidenced by today traces of frescoes on the walls.

Landmark Church of the Archangel Michael is the icon of St. Nicholas, which is located here. Even in appearance we can say that this icon is very ancient. Also notable is the fact that in the porch there is an inscription on the burial in 1783, in this place Avdotya Blue, wife of collegiate assessor. No more information about it there, maybe she donated funds for the restoration and adornment of the temple. Under the walls of the temple are buried by other parishioners.

Further, the appearance of the temple until the present day has undergone great changes. In 1908, began restructuring the side of the temple. Its area has increased significantly. The temple has expanded significantly, has become larger in length and height. Also from the main temple was excavated portion of the South wall. Instead, it was an arch made of brick. Towards the end of 1909, work construction and finishing have been completed. After that put a new iconostasis created by the donations of parishioners. In 1910 the official consecration of the temple.

However, the fate of the Church in the 20th century, sad and reminiscent of the history of other shrines and places of worship in Russia. Just half a century, in the 60-ies the Church was practically abandoned. When he died last priest who served here at this time, the temple was almost completely destroyed and looted. But its complete disappearance did not take place, thanks to the labors and prayers of the abbess of the Spaso-Kazan convent. The abbess mother Markell has made many efforts to revive the dilapidated temple. Its the Priory is located near St. Michael's churchyard. In just three years the Church has been revived.

The first Liturgy in the restored Church took place in 2009. Today, almost a century after its last restoration, we can say that he has found a second birth, and his fate will not repeat the history of other churches that are fully collapsed and went into oblivion. Now in the Church revived the parish. Come pilgrims. Here they are welcome. Near the temple you can bathe in two sources. Also acts annual children's Orthodox camp in two shifts, which is located at the Svyato-Vvedensky monastery. The rector is father Dmitry, who lives near the Church. It is also a lot of work for the revival of the parish and the rebuilding of the temple.

Despite the fact that the Church has changed markedly in recent years, still lacks funds for its complete revival. For example, waiting ancient paintings that you want to restore.
