Kostel sv. Bedřicha (St. Frederick?s Church) was built in the years 1873-1875. Its construction was initiated by the Cardinal of Olomouc Fridrich Landráta. The construction was carried out according to the plan of the constructor Antonín Kybasta. The architecture is different from other wooden churches of Beskydy. Wooden church in Bílá resembles Scandinavian medieval churches that were originating in the 8th century. The Nordic architecture is reminded also by the high, slender tower with narrow high windows and triangular frontons over the top edge and corrugated roof in two levels. The ground plan of the church aisle is broken thanks to the annexes of galilees in front of the main entrance and side entrances. Fourteen carved columns inside the church carries a gallery with three arcades. Altar with reliquary is in the Neo-Baroque style. An interesting piece of architecture is the solution of fourteen trellis windows that serve as unique representation of individual stages of the Way to Calvary. The patron of the church was selected according to the name of the donator ? Cardinal Landgrat.
