The wooden temple of the Holy Archangel Michael
The church was built in 1778 (incorrectly mentioned in 1718) and boasts a very beautiful iconographic decoration. It is a three-room log building with a presbytery, a main nave and an attic. The iconostasis and the main altar are created in the Eastern European Baroque style with Rococo elements. Inside we can see a richly carved five-row iconostasis from the 18th century, some icons are even older.
The church is still used by parishioners
The wooden church is still commonly used by the Greek Catholic Church for its ceremonies, which are held here regularly every Sunday at 11:15. Contact for arranging a tour of the interior of the church: Ján Kelemeca +421 904 154 469
