Nicov was founded in the 13th century on the Guldenen Straß on the pass below the Königsstein and has been documented since 1295. At that time, the owner of the place and the church was the Benedictine monastery Insula . The name is probably derived from "Nitzens Hof"; "Nitz" is a diminutive of Niklaus. Since 1365 Nitzau was a pastor. After the destruction of the monastery by the Hussites , Nicov was added to the castle rule of Karlsberg in 1420 . The parish also went out during the Hussite Wars, and the church became a branch of the Bergreichenstein parish . In the course of the sale of the Karlsberg rule, the village came to the royal city of Bergreichenstein in 1584. In 1787 a localist was reinstated in the church.
