The stone church was built in its present place in 1778 and its side-altar of Archangel Michael became the main altar of the new church. After several reconstructions the temple acquired its present-day appearance: it is a five-cupola, four-pillar church, it has one light cupola and four false ones made of planks and trimmed with metal. All the three façades have the same form, with the only difference being that the eastern wall is slightly wider than the southern and northern ones.

The altar part of the church is built in Russian-Byzantine style and the bell-tower of the Archangel’s church is built in the style of early classicism. Архангельская деревянная церковь в Ельце построена на рубеже XVI — XVII вв. Она находилась на Красной площади.
