The Church of St. Nicholas in the village of Kichinitsa is a single-nave rectangular structure with a gable roof and a semicircular apse on the east, covered with stone slabs. It is built of crushed stone, while dressed stone was used to form the small rectangular window openings, the western arched-profile portal, and the cornice.
Inside the church, a two-tier iconostasis screen topped with a large cross is placed on the eastern side, while a wooden gallery (loft) is raised on the western side. The flat ceiling is made of wood, decorated with a central circular rosette and thin wooden slats that form square panels. The temple is not fresco-painted.
Dicho Zograf from Tresonche crafted the icons for the iconostasis in 1849/50.
