The Church of St. Nicholas was built in its present form on the ruins of an older temple dating from 1341. It was consecrated in 1867. The interior is decorated with frescoes and carved wooden elements. Most of the icons on display inside date from the 19th century, but some were also painted in the 17th and 18th centuries, mainly by local artists.
The Church of St George is a Macedonian Orthodox church near the village Kozjak and next to Bargala Archaeological Site. It is one of the few surviving churches in northern Macedonia from the 9th and 10th centuries.
Holy Trinity Church was built between 1997 and 2003. The icons are by Kalchev of Gevgelija, and the frescoes are the work of world-famous Ukrainian masters: Dimitri Nagurni, Vladimir Nedajborch, Viktor Blinov, Jura Levchenko, Vladimir Cach, Vladimir Bovhun, Larisa Mishchenko, Ljuszko. The church, in its architectural design, belongs to the type of single-nave churches with a cross plan and a vaulted dome partly designed in the Byzantine style.
The Church of St. George was completed in 1917, on the site of an old church, probably dating from the beginning of the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the local population requested and obtained permission from the Turkish authorities to build a new Orthodox church. The written consent was issued by Sultan Mehmed V (1909-1918) himself. The church was given a basilica structure, characteristic of the period between the 18th and 19th centuries, covered with a gable roof, with three domes, of which the middle one is higher.
