St. Archangel Michael Church


St.Archangel Michael Church is the oldest church in the town and is a monument of national significance dating back to the Middle Ages. The wood-carved altar was made by the Tryavna craftsmen Papa Vitan, Simeon Koev and Dyado Doncho. The bishop's throne is one of the finest examples of the Tryavna woodcarving school. The church is home to the Royal Cross made of boxwood on which 12 evangelical scenes have been carved up.
