The Church of Archangel Michael in the village of Mikhailovskoye, Skvozniki, includes two stone churches and a bell tower. All were built with the funds of Colonel of the Guard Pyotr Alexandrovich Krivtsov: the first church was erected in 1864, and the second along with the bell tower in 1870. A stone fence surrounds the first church, while a wooden fence on a stone foundation surrounds the second. The village has two cemeteries: one by the Archangel church, and the second, half a verst away, surrounded by a wooden fence. In this cemetery stands a stone chapel, also built by Krivtsov in 1870. Each church has one altar: the first, in honor of Archangel Michael, and the second, of the Unmade Image of the Savior. The church was closed no later than the 1930s and is now in a state of neglect.
