This medieval church is best-known for its frescoes, well-preserved and unrestored. They were likely painted in the 16th century and have a mostly flat, two-dimensional rendering of the figures. The annual holiday "Spasovden" is celebrated by the Macedonian Orthodox population at the church. The village has four other churches.
