Temple of Archangel Michael
Russia, Alupka

The Temple of Archangel Michael is an Orthodox church located in the city of Alupka in Crimea. The church is dedicated to the Archangel Michael, a significant figure in Christian theology. Its construction was completed in the early 20th century, with the foundation stone laid in 1903 and consecration taking place in 1908. The temple was built to serve the spiritual needs of the local Orthodox community and was designed in a Byzantine architectural style, which was prevalent for religious buildings of that period in the region. Throughout its history, the temple has experienced periods of both operation and closure, reflecting the broader religious and political changes in the area. It functioned as a place of worship until the Soviet era when religious activities were restricted, and the building was repurposed for secular use. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the temple was returned to the Orthodox Church and underwent restoration to resume its religious functions. It remains an active church, holding regular services and participating in the religious life of the community. The Temple of Archangel Michael is recognized as a cultural heritage site, contributing to the historical and architectural landscape of Alupka.
