Immediately after the Serbs moved here from Jamtara, a Church of St. Nicholas was built of rammed earth, but it was pulled down in 1838. It stood on the same spot as the present church and was dedicated to the same saint. The present church was consecrated by the Timișoara priest Jovan Vasić. It was built in the classical style, with a semicircular altar apse. The bell tower reaches a height of 34.31 m at the cross. The woodcarving of the iconostasis, the choir stalls and the thrones was completed in 1858 by an unknown artist, while the frescoes and icons were painted by Nikola Aleksić, a famous painter of the time. In 2001 conservation and restoration work was carried out on the front facade and the tower under the supervision of the Provincial Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments in Novi Sad. A general overhaul of the roof structure was carried out in 2008, funded by the Provincial Secretariat for Administration, Regulations and National Minorities, the Municipality of Nova Crnja and the Local Community of Radojevo.
Its architectural value makes this church a valuable work of art and a valued place of prayer and pilgrimage.
