The church is one of the most beautiful churches, built in the village of Arbanasi in XVII-XVIII c. According to its plan it is with an altar, naos, narthex and gallery. There is a small chapel dedicated to St. Paraskevi. The church is very modest from outside but it impresses with the splendid wall-paintings. Very particular are the images of the females- saints painted against starry sky. The wood-carved iconostasis was made by painters from the Art School in Tryavna.
