The old wooden church currently serves as a funeral chapel – in the front of the church is a glass-walled cold room into which the coffin containing the body is placed. Conservation work is underway inside and outside the church.

Two plane trees grow behind the church.

The new church, built of brick and in the shape of a cross, is impressive in its walls and roof height, considering the relatively small town of Besko (population 4,000).
This isn't visible in close-up photos, but can be seen from a distance: the ridges of the four roofs, meeting in the center of the building, are not horizontal but slope downward toward the center, where a concrete turret—a bell tower—protrudes from the roof. One might get the impression that the bell tower was so heavy that it caused the roof structure to collapse.

The Wooden Parish Church of St. The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross was built in 1755 and rebuilt in 1925, and the classicist bell tower dates from 1841.
