Old St. Nicholas Church, Javorani, Serbian Orthodox wooden church in Javorani, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The rectangular church measures 9.46 meters in length, 4.92 meters in width, and reaches a height of 5.50 meters with oak wood construction throughout.

Built in 1756, the church includes a prayer book containing information about monk Neophyte from Gomionica Monastery who faced execution by Ottoman administrators in Banja Luka.

The structure demonstrates traditional Serbian Orthodox religious architecture with a rectangular foundation and no apse section at the altar location.

The Republic Institute for Protection of Cultural and Natural Heritage of Republika Srpska conducted reconstruction work on the church between 2003 and 2004.

Local tradition tells of the church moving itself from Grabež to Cvišić hill during the night, while another story involves clever use of an oxhide.

Location: Kneževo

Made from material: wood
