Orthodox church of St. Nicholas

Local name: Kostelík svatého Mikuláše

The church of Saint Nicholas is a wooden building in the Lemko style in the southern version moved to Hradec Kralove after World War I. It currently belongs to the local Orthodox parish. It was probably built in the early 16th century.

The church was originally located in Habura near Medzilaborców in Slovakia. In 1740 she was transferred to the village of Mała Polana near Stropkov. In its original locations, it served the local Ruthenian community, which in time began to be called lemons. Her church affiliation also changed. It was built as an Orthodox church, but it served Greek Catholic in Mała Polana.

After World War I, the temple was badly damaged. To protect her from demolition, she was transferred to Hradec Kralove, where she serves the Orthodox. It is a three-part structure, consisting of a square nave and presbytery covered with a broken tent roof. Adjacent to the nave is a tower with sloping walls with an apparent room, connected to it by the west. There is an iconostasis inside.
