Orthodox church of St. Nicholas

Local name: Cerkiew św. Mikołaja

19th century Greek Catholic church of St. Nicholas the Wonder is part of the Wooden Architecture Trail. It has a log construction and is one of three, next to Komańcza and Turzańska, Lemko churches of the towerless type. Inside you can see preserved elements of the old equipment: iconostasis, side altars and figural-ornamental polychrome. It is worth paying attention to the choir's painting decoration of the Orthodox church in Rzeszów in its original shape, restored thanks to the renovation of the late 90's of the 20th century, and the former Greek Catholic cathedral in Przemyśl, currently the Carmelite church.

The church was built in 1824 in place of the previous temple. In 1896 the century was significantly rebuilt. After the displacement of Ukrainian residents of Rzepedź as part of the "Wisła" Action, the church's interior was looted. For many years it served as a Roman Catholic funeral chapel. In the early 70s it was renovated at the initiative of the faithful. From 1976 it was opened on the most important holidays, and since 1987 it is a subsidiary church of the Greek Catholic parish in Komańcza.

On the axis of the church there is a free-standing pillar-frame belfry. Next to the cemetery with interesting tombstones.
