In the center of the village of Ruski Potok, in 1740 an originally Greek Catholic wooden church was built. It is dedicated to St. Archangel Michael. Since 2000, it has been transformed into an Orthodox church.
It is a three-part, three-nave church with two crosses. It is built on a stone foundation. The construction of the temple is a classic log house with a tower and a vestibule. The body of the temple tower is covered with boards, and on its roof there is a specially shaped onion-lantern with a roof, two onions one on top of the other and a three-armed cross. Above the presbytery there is a simple turret with an onion and a three-armed cross.
The iconostasis in the church has a four-level structure with icons arranged on four floors. It is believed to be from the 18th century. The first main series is the icons of St. Bishop Nicholas, Our Lady of Hodigitrie, Christ and St. Michael the Archangel. The tsarist double doors are equipped with six medallions (four Evangelists and two Annunciation medallions). There are icons of St. Basil the Great and St. Gregor Naziánski. The space for placing the iconostasis is narrower than the iconostasis itself, therefore the first and last pair of icons are tilted. The second row of feasts is separated by the icon of the Last Supper. Third: the apostolic council consists of the icons of the apostles, with the central icon of Christ in the middle of the council.
The wooden belfry next to the church is not original, it was built in 1956. It is a pole structure. There are three bells in it.
