On the site of the current wooden articular church of St. Michala in Istebno was originally a small chapel dating from 1686. In 1730, the chapel was enlarged. A tower was added and crypts were made under the church, which took on its current form and gave it a floor plan of a Greek cross.

On the site of the current wooden articular church of St. Michala in Istebno was originally a small chapel dating from 1686. In 1730, the chapel was enlarged. A tower was added and crypts were made under the church, which took on its current form and gave it a floor plan of a Greek cross. In its interior there are rare paintings, a baroque altar with a picture of St. Trinity, a Florentine-style pulpit with statues of evangelists.

A special feature of the church is the wooden chalice, which is supposed to remind of the old times, when the Orava people were poor but rich in spirit. The floor plan of the temple is in the form of a compressed cross with a distinctive longitudinal axis. On the east side, the large square nave narrows to the altar space, where the emporium is situated. Below it is a small sacristy. The organ emporium built on the opposite side has the shape of the letter U. The organ from 1768 has not been preserved, the new organ was brought to the church in 1931. The wooden beamed ceiling in the nave was replaced several times.
