The wooden Church of Corpus Christi is one of the oldest religious folk buildings in the foothills of the Beskydy Mountains. It was built in 1563 during the Reformation and the divine services of the Protestants took place here until the year 1654, when the Catholics took it over.

Its construction consists of extremely strong joists, sometimes as big as 60 centimeters wide. In the interior there is a unique choir shaped into the letter “L” and richly decorated. The oldest bell dates to the year 1565.
