You can visit this interesting wooden church, which was built in the style of western Lemki sacral architecture, since 2007. Typical for the style is the three-part construction with its division into choir, tower and nave and the clapboard cladding of the outer wall and roof. The interior of the church dates from the 18th and 19th centuries and, in addition to the figurative wall paintings in the ornamental style, shows an icon wall, a main altar and two side altars.
Since the church is an important testimony to the medieval church building tradition, it has belonged to the cross-border UNESCO World Heritage Site "Wooden Churches of the Carpathian Region" since 2013, along with seven other wooden churches in Poland and eight churches in Ukraine.
