Erected between 1497-98 the church is particularly important for its well preserved facades displaying the characteristic wall facing for that period: a basement of carved stone, a second, middle section of flint coursed rubble and few brick masonry and a third section of brickwork comprising also the cornice decorated with small enameled terracotta disks. The interior is composed of double domed pronaos west to a naos characteristic both for their domes supported by either superposed or rotated arches.
