Saint Nicholas church in Mikołów, Wooden parish church in Borowa Wsi, Mikołów, Poland.
The Saint Nicholas church stands as a rectangular wooden structure with a three-sided closed presbytery, featuring a baroque tower with an onion dome crowned by a lantern and surrounded by traditional covered walkways called soboty.
Originally constructed in the 17th or 18th century around 1640, the church was relocated from nearby Przyszowice to its current location in Borowa Wsi between 1937 and 1939, with a separate parish established in 1957.
The interior houses an early baroque painting of Saint Nicholas flanked by sculptures of Saint John the Evangelist and Baptist, along with rococo altars featuring paintings of Saint John of Nepomuk and Saint Anthony, representing regional religious artistic traditions.
Designated as an immovable cultural heritage monument and included on the Wooden Architecture Trail of the Silesian Voivodeship, the church functions as an active parish church accessible year-round for visitors and worshippers.
The church contains a rare sacred image of Saint Barbara holding a book, which is an unusual attribute for this saint, alongside a late Gothic relief of Saints Peter and Paul integrated into the baroque interior design.
