Church of St Barbara and of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Golcowa was built from larch wood. Its truss-log-bracket construction represents one of the oldest types of structural systems used in wooden churches. Despite the numerous reconstructions and alterations which significantly changed the body of the building, it retains numerous components of the original building

The log church consists of two parts, and is oriented towards the east. The porches represent a post and beam structure and are clad with wood boards. The rectangular chancel is enclosed from the east with semi-hexagonal walls. The chancel windows are enclosed in ogee arches. A portal with polychrome ornaments leads into the sacristy. A well-preserved king post truss is very interesting. The internal part of the nave is roofed with a flat ceiling which is supported on pillars added later.
