The main dominant feature of Krivé is the Greek-Catholic church dedicated to St. Luke the Evangelist and is a national cultural monument. The church was built in 1826.
The wooden church in Krivo has a rectangular plan with a polygonal sanctuary, an extended nave, a babinec and a square tower.
The interior attracts with a four-row iconostasis with icons from different time periods. The icons outside the iconostasis are particularly interesting. Among the more valuable ones are the tempera on wood from the end of the 16th century – Bohorodička Hodigitria s pochvalou, Spasiteľ s nebeskými silami, Michal svätý archanjel a Krst Krista v Jordáne – ktoré pravdepodobne pochádzajú zo spomínaného staršieho chrámu.
During the last modifications it was covered with a simple gable roof, which lost the three-towered character typical for the Lemko buildings in this area. The added tower with two bells is topped with a Baroque lantern with a poppy and a cross. The narthex - the undercroft is without roofing, the nave has a planked soffit and the sanctuary has a beamed ceiling.
Interior
Fine Art pamiatky interiéru sú prevažne z 18 storočia a z čias výstavby kostola. Jeho súčasťou je však aj niekoľko mimoriadne hodnotných ikon z konca 16 storočia, which have probably been preserved from an older church that has disappeared.
The wooden church in the village of Krivé was repaired in 1965 - 1970. In 2003 the foundations of the church were repaired and in 2006 the tower was restored. In 2010, the rest of the temple cladding and the wiring were renovated.
