Description:

A single-spaced church with a wooden roof and a narthex. According to the founding inscription in the apse of the Sanctuary, the foundations of the church were laid in 1568. Wall paintings cover the larger part of the church, but they have been painted at a later stage, probably in the 17th century. A second layer of wall paintings is traced in some places.

Special
characteristics

Well-done brickwork, particularly in the apse of the Sanctuary.
