About this building
The church belonged to the nearby monastery of Holy Archangels. From 1836 to 1912, the Cincar community took over the church which had belonged until then to the Serbs. The Cincars started the construction of a larger church around the medieval one, with the intention to build the largest church in Prizren. The construction of this church was left incomplete, resulting in the unusual complex that can be seen today.
