A stone church made of river stone was built in 1801 probably on the site of the previous temple. It is an orientated, three-part temple with a semicircular crowned presbytery. Above the facade connected to the nave roof a tower is built, under which there is a women's gallery. The tower acts as a belfry. The nave and the presbytery are covered by a ridge roof covered with sheet metal. Over all three parts of the church rise almost identical towers, crowned with apparent lanterns with pumpkins, and iron crosses. The most difficult of them was the renovation of the church's roof, which was carried out in 2006. It consisted of replacing the entire plating. It was difficult because the roof is a shelter for the colony of one of the rarest bat species, threatened with extinction - a small horseshoe. The work had to be done in a safe way for bats to allow them to use the shelter. Inlets for them were marked and secured. Inside the church there is a complete iconostasis from 1865. On the ceiling of the nave, polychrome with transverse stripes with geometric motifs. The altar is decorated with paintings simulating three-dimensional architectural details. Noteworthy are two beautiful icons placed on the walls of the nave: Resurrection of Lazarus and the Last Judgment. In the vestibule a round painting depicting the expulsion of Adam and Eve from paradise, as well as a polychrome on the ceiling depicting angels. The church is surrounded by a low, stone wall, the temple area is entered through a stone gate covered with a tent roof covered with sheet metal, topped with an openwork cross.
