The Old Church in Gložane was built in the 1920s. It is dedicated to the Transfer of the Relics of St. Nicholas. Its construction is reminiscent of log churches, but its walls were built in a bondručne construction with wattle and daub filling. The church is shaped like a ship with a porch at the front. The porch is supported by four decorative oak columns with a simple braid ornament. The roof is gable and covered with tiles. The church consists of an altar, nave, narthex, and porch. Inside the temple, the ceiling in the altar area and nave is semi-domed and covered with wooden shingles. The floor is paved with square bricks. A special feature of the church is the decorative elements on the porch and the iconostasis. These include geometric and floral motifs in wood, painted in red, green, and white. The western doors are adorned with nailed battens that form geometric figures. On the nave ceiling, there is a rosette decorated with red and green details. Some of the icons on the iconostasis date from the time of the church's construction.
