The locality of Saccudello is mentioned as a villa distinct from Cordovado already in the bull of Urban III in 1186. At the immediate outskirts of the village, there was an impenetrable forest, often frequented by wolves: between 1633 and 1634, the five people mauled in Cordovado by wolves were all attacked on the stretch from Saccudello to the Feletti of Morsano.

The church dates back to the late 1600s, with a rectangular hall featuring exposed beams (three trusses), while the presbytery is square and higher than the hall, with a lime ceiling with stucco motifs; behind the choir is the sacristy.

The facade is smooth and asymmetrical due to the presence of a single window, located to the left of the entrance door, framed in stone, and at the top, there is an oval eye. The bell tower, located on the right corner of the hall, consists of a square-based tower with four ogival single-lancet windows and a crenellated crown added later.

The polychrome wooden statue of San Nicolò is precious, in the manner of Domenico da Tolmezzo, restored by Angelo Pizzolongo at the time of the general restoration of the small church (1985-87).

In 1750, the wooden altar was remade in stone by Pietro Balbi from Portogruaro, while the altarpiece depicting Madonna with child among the SS. Antonio abate, Antonio da Padova, and Gottardo was painted by Francesco Mestore from S. Marizza di Varmo. The banner was renewed in 1743 and made by Bortolo Serimi (Serini?) from Venice.

Since 1665, it still has an active confraternity, originally also dedicated to the SS. Antonio abate, Antonio di Padova, and Gottardo.
