Wooden church of St. Nicolas
The oldest surviving building situated in the village Nýdek is the church of St. Nicolas from 1576. The rate of building interventions, especially in the nineteenth century, however changed its original form. It has undergone structural modifications recently to correct the previous insensitive interference into roofing. The existing eternit roof was replaced by wood shingles. After the exchange of roofing and other repairs it is certainly worth visiting. The building has not changed much over the centuries. It has a rectangular transept on a retaining wall with indented rectangular presbytery. An interesting part of the interior is a choir borne on four pillars decorated by flat wooden pins and a set of 14 benches.
