It is part of a network of small rural churches in the municipality of Muccia, such as Santa Maria di Varano, Madonna di Loreto, Sant’Andrea Apostolo, and Santa Maria di Col de’ Venti.

It falls under the Parish of San Biagio, based in central Muccia, and is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Camerino–San Severino Marche.

The Church of San Nicolò was built in the 13th century by Umbrian-Marche craftsmen. The entire area was under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Spoleto. The building is simple, with a layout resembling a Greek cross. The exterior walls are thick and clad with stone blocks, and the façade features some decorative motifs. On the left side of the main body of the church stands the bell tower, which has a rectangular plan.

The church likely dates between the 16th and 18th centuries, in line with other rural chapels in the area, following simple Romanesque-inspired models, though no precise dating is available.

The church was damaged by the 1997 earthquake. Restoration work was completed in 2000; however, following another earthquake that struck the area in 2016, the church has been declared unsafe.
