The wooden Greek Catholic church in the village of Uličské Krivé was built in 1718. It is dedicated to St. Archangel Michael, who in Christianity is considered primarily the conqueror of the devil in the form of a dragon, and also the leader of the heavenly armies standing before God's throne in the east. Very quickly, Michał turned out to be the defender of the gate to paradise. The wooden church in the village of Uličské Krivé was built in a log style on a stone foundation. It consists of a chapel, a nave and a vestibule. The temple has two towers. The upper tower is located above the vestibule, the lower one - above the presbytery. Each temple tower has a dome and a three-arm iron cross. The temple towers and the temple roof are covered with chipped wooden shingles. Three bells hang in the upper tower of the temple. The oldest one comes from 1811. The main entrance to the church leads from the west to the vestibule.
The temple has a characteristic wall with three doors. This iconostasis dates back to the 18th century. It consists of five rows of icons. In the main line of the iconostasis there are the following icons: St. Nicholas of Myra, St. The Virgin of Hodegetria and Christ the Teacher and Master. The imperial door consists of two wings with images of the family tree of Christ. Above the main line of the iconostasis there is a series of icons of the great Byzantine holidays with the icon of the Last Supper. Above the series of Christmas icons is the series of holy apostles. Above the line of holy apostles is the line of Old Testament prophets. For spatial reasons, there is no cross in the iconostasis. The fifth row of icons is under the main row of the iconostasis.
