Carpathian Ruthenian Church of the Saint Michael Archangel - Na Hřebenkách 1284/60
Biserica Ortodoxă Română Sf. Arh. Mihail Praga - Parohiapraga.eu
        Aceasta biserica de lemn cu hramul Sf. Arh. Mihail din gradina Kinsky, in vecinatatea locului numit Petrin, a fost data spre folosire Bisericii ortodoxe din Cehia si Slovacia la inceputul anului 2008.
        Biserica a fost construita in stilul numit bojkov cu elemente de baroc satesc in a doua jumatate a sec. al XVII -lea in comuna Velke Loucky de langa Mukacevo. Are lungimea de 14 m si altimea de cca. 8 m. Ca materialde constructie s-a folosit lemnul ales, tot din lemn fiind si cuiele si penele. Caracteristic stilului bojkov este impartirea navei in trei parti aproape patrate deasupra \carora se ridica cate o turla din barne. Cea mai inalta turla, de peste 17m inaltime, se inalta deasupra zonei destinate femeilor, numita in limbaj popular ,,babatai". Originea ortodoxa a bisericii este revelata de folosirea la decorarea turlelor si interiorului a culorilor alb, verde si rosu, care in interpretarea populara simbolizeaza virtutile crestinesti de baza: credinta, speranta si dragostea.
        Biserica Sf. Arh. Mihail a fost complet demontata de doua ori si din nou ridicata. Prima oara in 1793, cand satenii din Velke Loucky au vandut biserica mai bogatei si mai marei comune Medvedovce. A doua ora in 1929, cand rutenii au daruit biserica orasului Praga, capitala statului din care faceau parte pe atunci, ca model tipic de arhitectura populara din Rutenia. Dupa dezasamblarea cu grija, biserica a fost transportata in patru vagoane de cale ferata adaptate special acestui scop. Toate costurile au fost suportate de Muzeul National cu sprijinul Ministerului Culturii si Culturalizarii al Republicii Cehoslovace.
        Ceremonia predarii bisericii locuitorilor orasului Praga a avut loc la 10 septembrie 1929 in prezenta reprezentantilor capitalei, a guvernatorului Ruteniei si a satenilor din Medvedovce in pitoresti costume populare.
        Biserica carpatica Sf. Arh. Mihail a devenit pentru mult timp componenta a colectiei departamentului etnografic al Muzeului National din Praga.
        In urma reparatiilor necesare, este folosita de credinciosii ortodocsi si este accesibila tuturor celor înteresati la cerere.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful little piece of the Carpathians in Prague which got here in the first part of the last century when the Ukrainian Carpathians were a part of Czechoslovakia. A visit at the time of service provides an amazing view into another culture.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So many walks through Petřín before and haven't stumbled on it. Found it only after browsing Atlas Obscura. Beautifully located and interesting story behind it

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice church, the place is worth the effort (baby in the stroller...). Unfortunately the priest closed the door just few seconds after we arrived, but we will return!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting and unusual (non-Czech) church. Small. A little bit of a hike if your walking from the river area and if you're not fit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's not a necessary visit if you have a short trip in the city but if you're not far away from this original church, you should definitely have a look ! The architecture is very uncommon and the park where it's located is very calm and nice ! A place to consider !

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Natural, beautiful carpathian church built from lumber and wooden nails. It's a bit of a walk uphill but totally worth it with not only the church but ponds, waterfalls and great views of the city break up the hike. Please take time to enjoy this park and the church!
