It is a unique monument of wooden architecture. The church was built in 1784, in 1838 and 1874 it was expanded and rebuilt. There the documents from other city churches were kept since 1775. In 1903 the shrine was covered with tin instead of shingles. In 1878-1882 the dean on the church Fr. Theophil Kobryn lived opposite the temple with his wife, who was a well-known writer and women’s activist Natalia Kobrynska. The young priest initiated the organization of a Ukrainian bourgeois reading room in Sniatyn and it was founded in 1881. Later a branch of the Prosvita society was established on the basis of the reading room.
It was T. Kobrynskyi who thought about building a larger church in the city. The construction started in 1880 on the site of an old chapel in the center of Sniatyn. Now it is the church of Michael the Archangel. The temple is cruciform, single-domed, its roof is covered with deep dark red paint, the walls are made of open unpainted log cabins, the foundation is made of the Prut River boulders and partly bricks.
Restoration work took place here in 1990s, but it was not intensive enough. Now the church is 40 cm raised from the ground, the foundation has been laid under it, wooden structures have been strengthened, the previous church paintings have been restored and a new iconostasis has been installed.
