St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church
NE 27-18-3E, Winnipeg Beach area

Designation Date: March 24, 2003
Designation Authority: R.M. of Gimli
Present Owner: Trustees of Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church of St. Michael
St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church is a modest example of Byzantine architectural influences recreated in Manitoba’s rural Interlake region by early Ukrainian settlers. Through its single banya (dome), one-room plan, decorative intact interior and extensive iconography, including floral motifs painted by visiting Belgian priests, the church represents a simplified version of more substantial Eastern rite structures found in Ukraine and elsewhere in Manitoba.
