If you are looking for a historical gem hidden in the picturesque landscape of the Beskydy Mountains, the St. Nicholas Church in Nýdek is the right choice. This wooden church, built in the 16th century, is one of the oldest preserved buildings in the region. It is located just a 30-minute drive from our hotel Pod Kyčmolem and is an ideal destination for a trip. Visitors can admire the unique architecture, experience a peaceful environment and feel the touch of history.

Information

The St. Nicholas Church was founded in 1576 by local Protestants and is one of the oldest buildings in the Nýdek area. Over the centuries, it has undergone several reconstructions, which, however, respected its original wooden character. The church is now dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of the church, and serves the Catholic community. The church is built as an oriented timber-framed building on a stone plinth with a characteristic gable roof covered with wooden shingles. The interior of the church will impress visitors with a beautiful wooden porch supported by four pillars, which is decorated with flat cones. The bell from 1581, hanging in the tower, is a testament to the rich history of this monument.

The surroundings of the Church of St. Nicholas offer a wide range of opportunities for hiking and cycling. Visitors can use the red tourist trail leading from Třinec through Velká Čantoryja to Nýdek and further to Mosty u Jablunkova. This route offers beautiful views of the Beskydy ridges.
