The wooden church, the two-tier structure of hand-hewn and adzed oak logs, in the Byzantine Gothic style was built at Velka Kopana (Velyka Kopanya) in Transcarpathian Ruthenia in 1669.
The church has been moved from Velka Kopan (

It was moved by train on the initiative of politician Václav Klofác and re-built at Dobríkov in 1931.
