“I am shocked by the news of the fire in the Church of St. Michael. It was transported to Prague from the territory of Ukraine and is therefore one of the connecting bridges between Ukraine and the Czech Republic. We call on the police for you to investigate this incident in detail. We consider the restoration of this unique monument to be a matter of honor for all of us “, – set Ukrainian Ambassador to the Czech Republic Yevhen Perebiynis on his page at Twitter.
According to pragagid, the Church of St. Michael was erected in the second half of the 17th century in the village of Velikiye Luchki, not far from Mukachevo, Transcarpathian region. In 1793, it was bought and transported by parishioners from the nearby, but later richer town of Medvedevtsy.
The second transport of the church to Prague took place in 1929. Then the Ukrainian temple was presented as an exhibition in the National Museum in Prague (in 1919-1939 Transcarpathia was part of Czechoslovakia). The temple belonged to the Czech Orthodox Church.
