At the site of the present day church once stood an evidently older church (annonymous record from the middle of the 14th century stored in the archives of the Vatican). The timber, single-aisle church, with a shingle roof in the shape of a traingle is a unique monument of baroque, folk architecture and it was built in 1752. Two bells have been preserved in the present day belfry, dating back to the 16th, respectively 15th century. The timber mortuary with a picture of St. Nicholas, dating back to the 1st half of the 18th century.

Na míste dnešního kostela stával patrne kostel starší (anonymní zápis z pol. 14. st. uložený v archivu Vatikánu).
Novobarokní soubor kostela, zvonice a márnice byl postavený v polovine 18. století. Kostel sv. Mikuláše byl postaven roku 1752 v copovém slohu, je drevený, roubený se šindelovou strechou ve tvaru trojúhelníku, je jednolodový, uvnitr jsou ploché stropy, kruchta (s dosud funkcními varhanami) na vyrezávaných sloupcích v západní cásti kostela a presbyter obrácená k východu. V sakristii kostela je dnes uložena velká zvláštnost, o které se málokde docteme, takzvaná „josefínská rakev“ pocházející asi z 80. let 18. století. Tehdy z duvodu úspory dreva na rakve, hlavne pri pocetnejších úmrtích pri epidemiích, byli zemrelí spoušteni otevrením dna rakve do hrobu. Tento zpusob pohrbívání se však pro silný odpor obyvatelstva používal jen krátce. Puvodne byla rakev uložena v márnici z roku 1750, do sakristie byla z bezpecnostních duvodu premístena až koncem 20. století.
