St. Nicholas in Łąka - the Roman Catholic parish in Łąka, in the deanery of Pszczyna, the Archdiocese of Katowice.
The village of Łąka was founded at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, during the period of establishing the village under German law. As a colonization-type village, it had land for the construction of a church and farmland to ensure the economic self-sufficiency of the parish priest. The first certain date in the history of the village is, however, only on March 2, 1449, when a document was drawn up on the donation of income from Łąka to the church in Pszczyna.
From the time of its establishment, the parish in Łąka was administratively associated with the Krakow diocese, due to its belonging to the Pszczyna land. In November 1598, the archdeacon of Kraków, Krzysztof Kazimirski, commissioned by Bishop Jerzy Radziwiłł, made a visit to the church (the first after the Council of Trent) of the deanery of Pszczyna. According to the report, the wooden church of st. Jadwiga in Villa Łąka was in the hands of Protestants.
As a result of pressure from Karol Promnitz - the lord of Pszczyna, the parish in Łąka was Lutheranized and lasted from 1568 to 1653. On April 22, 1658, a fire consumed the entire church building. However, two years later a new church was built. st. Nicholas, and from 1664, the first parish priest after re-Catholicization was Fr. Albert Chłądowicz. In the years 1821-1922, the parish of Łąka, along with the entire deanery of Pszczyna, belonged to the Wrocław diocese.
The second half of the 19th century was the time of the Kulturkampf. The then parish priest of Łącko - Fr. Antoni Philippi, was harassed and imprisoned twice for preaching in Polish. After the First World War and the Silesian Uprisings, the Pszczyna deanery became part of the Polish state, and in 1925 it became part of the Katowice diocese. The parish priest in Łąka was Fr. Piotr Klimek. After the Second World War, the communist authorities persecuted and tried to subdue the parish priest, who was Fr. Franciszek Dobrowolski.

Church of St. Mikołaja w Łąka is located on the Wooden Architecture Trail of the Silesian Voivodeship. It is worth mentioning an interesting folk ritual that takes place in Łąka around December 6, i.e. St. Santa. In the afternoon groups of costumed people from St. Nicholas, as well as with a goat, the devil, death, a Jew and a woman, accompanied by a band :).
