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 (visit link) to a small village Dobrikov in Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic).
