St Michael's Cathedral was built in 1856 at the expense of the Zhytomyr merchant Mykhailo Khabotin († 1861). After the October Revolution and until 1927, the church functioned as a temple of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox community. Under the prologue of renovation, the church was closed, after which the church building was used for a long time for other purposes. During the Second World War, the church was returned to the faithful and remained in use until 1960. On 21 November 1991, the church premises were returned to the religious community of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
