The wooden Greek Catholic church in Topola was built around 1700 under the invocation of St. Archangel Michael. The wooden temple is currently closed. The structure of the church has three sections, three naves and one tower. The massive roof creates an optically uniform object. The carcass construction is set on a low stone foundation. The tower has a roof in the shape of a truncated pyramid, covered with shingles. There is a cone with a three-armed cross on the pyramidal roof. There is a three-armed cross above the presbytery. Originally, there were three bells in the tower. They were later moved to a separate belfry by the temple. Eventually, they ended up in a new brick temple.
Iconostasis has a four-story structure with icons arranged over four floors. It comes from the mid-18th century. The deacon's door does not have wings. The Tsar's Door is double-leaf with six medallions of the Evangelists and the Annunciation. In the first main row there are icons of St. Bishop Nicholas, Our Lady of Hodigitrie, Christ the Teacher and the icon of St. Archangel Michael. The second row has the Last Supper icon in the center. The third row of the apostles contains in the center the icon of Christ, the High Priest with the Virgin and St. John the Baptist. The fourth row is the so-called series of prophets. In the center is Christ on a three-armed red cross, with Our Lady and St. the evangelist John on the sides.
