This medieval church was built in 1337 by a donor by the name of Danica at the foot of the Skopska Crna Gora mountain range. Capped by a single cupola, the frescoes within the church date from its original construction. Due to the church's location in a now mostly Muslim village, it is often subject to theft. Ljuboten was a hotspot during the 2001 insurgency. From 2006 to 2017, the church was renovated.

Љубански манастир
Reached via a narrow paved road above the village is this 19th century monastery. It was a home to monks before it became home to nuns in 1998. The monastery contains one church dedicated to Saint Nicholas, along with dormitories and a bell tower.
Црква „Св. Никола“
The predecessor church here was built around the time of the Yahya Pasha Mosque in the Old Bazaar with permission to build granted by Yahya Pasha. The current church was built in 1881 and its frescoes were done the same year by Dičo Zograf.
Црква „Вознесение Христово“
The most significant church in this municipality, built in 1872. Its frescoes, painted by artists from Kruševo, are fully preserved. Its wooden iconostasis features roughly 40 important icons painted by Dičo Zograf in the 1850s.
Црква „Св. Спас“
This medieval Orthodox church is actually dedicated to the Holy Mother of God but is called St Spas because it celebrates Spasovden (the Feast of the Ascension). Built in the Byzantine style, it was completed in the 14th century. The current frescoes were painted in 1874. In 1501, a secret chapel was built within the church but never discovered by the Ottomans during their entire rule.
