Wooden church of St. Michael the Archangel was built at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries in the village of Topoľa. The temple of a log structure on a stone foundation is built on a slope and is surrounded by a cemetery.

The three-room wooden church once stood at the lower end of the village, but in 1780 it was moved above the village of Topoľa, from where there is a beautiful view of the surroundings. The wooden temple has a massive roof in the shape of a truncated pyramid and has only one tower with a three-armed cross. The church bells are currently located in the brick church.

The iconostasis from the middle of the 18th century is extremely valuable. It has a four-row architecture and a variety of colors. Part of the area is an empty wooden belfry, which was built in the 20th century.

In the vicinity of the church there is a military cemetery that was established in 1917. 240 soldiers of the 44th Infantry Division of General Ziegler's 2nd Austro-Hungarian Army are buried in the cemetery.
