Church of St. Petka

The church of St. Petka was first built in the 1850s. But the church suffered from the earthquake in the Pehcevo region in 1904. As a result of the earthquake, the bell tower and the school in the church were destroyed. In 1978, by the decision of the municipality, the old church was demolished and a new one with a large central dome and three apses was built in its place. It was consecrated on 9 October 1988.
