In the archives of the Church there is a description of the graffiti and the Latin alphabet, which is dated 1532, mention of the name Algirdas, at that time famous for his achievements in building of Orthodox churches and their decorations. One of the inscriptions looks like a condemnation of the Prince, the other praises him. The conclusion suggests itself that during the life of his fortress already stood, otherwise what was written graffiti.

Arhitecture Church of St. Michael Archangel
Zinkovetsky the Church of St. Michael the Archangel is a unique monument of ancient architecture and architecture. Traits of the ancient Gothic found his fingerprints in trepreneurship masonry. The four corners of the fortress with the defense platforms guarding the tower, on their main front wall was round with facets, the back side is distinguished by the fact that under every tower in all four corners there are the crypts.

A huge crypt was under the stone floor. Along the top of the cornice were installed loopholes. According to some documents, in its present form the temple lacks a dome, which should be at the center of the roof.
Come inside modern buildings, not much of anything that reminds us that the fortress had a defensive nature. The interior of the temple resembles a large hall, the ceiling vaults to keep the four pillars symbolizing the four apostles.

Today the Church serves the people, its doors are open to all Orthodox believers.
