History

During the Second World War, during a punitive expedition, German soldiers imprisoned a large number of locals in the church, after which they blew it up. Work on the conservation of the frescoes was carried out in 1975 and 1976, and since 1979 the church has been under the protection of the Republic of Serbia, as a cultural monument of great importance.
