Description
The rare wooden church of St. Michael the Archangel stands in the small village of Príkra near Svidník. The Greek Catholic wooden church of st. Michael Archangel, also called the Wooden Chapel, was built in 1777.
The place where the church is currently situated is not its original location. Originally, it was a few tens of meters lower. In the architectural aspect, it is a three-piece log house with shingle roofing.
The interior of the church is decorated with four Rococo candlesticks, an iconostasis and the main altar with a image of the Crucifixion that dates back to the 18th century. Interestingly, the temple originally had three bells, one with a weight of 200 kg. The current appearance of the church is the result of reconstruction works in 2001-2002.
The surroundings of the church are maintained and well-arranged. The nearby forests offer excellent hiking and cycling opportunities.
