St. Michael's Church and Bell Tower in Lypetske

The masonry Church of the Archangel Michael with a separate bell tower is the main architectural landmark of Lypetske, a village founded in 1753 by Moldovan settlers. According to heritage registers, the church and bell tower date from the early nineteenth century and are listed as monuments of national significance in Odesa oblast. An entrance arch leads into the church grounds, and the neat shapes of the buildings are visible from afar. It is a pleasant stop for anyone interested in church architecture of southern Podillia and the history of Moldovan settlements.
