The first church at that place was built in 13th century, but only the building from 15th century has remained till today. The interior design of the church is a unique combination of Gothic art and highland folk tradition. The sculptures were made by a local artist, Jozef Janos.
The local legend has it that the church was built by highland robbers, to whom St. Michael Archangel revealed himself on the oak tree.
The church, together with other wooden churches in southern Poland and the Podkarpacie region, was listed on the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites.
