In the village of Isai, in the Sambir region, there is a perfectly preserved wooden church of St. Archangel Michael. It is an architectural monument of national importance.
The architectural object is one of the oldest preserved wooden churches in the Carpathian region. It is located in the center of the village and is a pearl of sacred architecture, built by craftsmen in the traditional Boyki style.
As informed by the deputy head of the Lviv OVA, Yuriy Buchko, in 2018, the church acquired the status of an emergency facility, and at the same time, its rescue began. During 2018-2021, the roof and domes of the temple were restored.
