Summary

A single-nave church.

The exterior is plastered, with the carved-stone frame of the western entrance and the lateral windows left exposed. The church does not have an exterior roof cover. There is a single entrance in the centre of the west wall, with a framed pointed-arch niche in the exterior wall above the lintel. Modern windows have been inserted in the centre of the north and south walls.

The interior is covered by a pointed barrel vault with two transverse arches. Nave and sanctuary are separated by a modern wooden iconostasis.

The wall paintings have suffered extensive damage, but the surviving parts are clearly legible.
