Greek Catholic wooden church of St. George

A small Greek Catholic church was built on the slope above the village of Jalová in 1792, sufficient for the population at the time. He was consecrated by St. to the great martyr Juraj.

It was repaired to a greater extent in 1831. This church also belonged to the so-called "temple in a fur coat", was plastered and whitewashed. In 2002 there were extensive repairs in the temple, it was completely restored, but no longer plastered. It is a temple of simple log construction, built on a stone foundation. From the construction point of view, it is a classic three-room, three-part, two-tower church with two metal crosses. The main tower has a pillar structure and is finished with an onion on which is mounted a three-armed cross. The small tower above the sanctuary also ends with a three-armed cross. Both the towers and the roof are covered with shingles. The entrance is only one on the west side. There are two bells in the main tower. One is from 1908, the other was spilled in 2001.

The iconostasis has a five-tiered architecture with icons located on five floors. It dates from the 17th century. The first row consists of four main icons of St. Bishop Nicholas, the Mother of God of Hodigitria, Christ and St. Grand Martyr Juraj. The interesting thing about this iconostasis is that the icons of saints in the main row are mounted perpendicular to the iconostasis for spatial reasons. Below the main row on the partitions are the icons of St. Peter and Paul, Protection of the Blessed Virgin, St. Nicholas and Christ the High Priest (?). The deacon's door is wingless. The imperial door is double-leafed with six medallions (four evangelists and two medallions of the Annunciation at the top). The second is a series of feasts and the third is a series of apostles. In the middle of the third row is the icon of Christ the High Priest. The fourth row contains four medallions with pairs of figures of the prophets, which, however, are spread out on the ceiling due to lack of space. The iconostasis is finished with a cross and figures of the Virgin and St. John the Evangelist.
