It is listed as a Monument of Great Cultural Importance by the Republic of Serbia.^[1] The church was built between 1801 and 1810 with contributions from local benefactors, among whom was Karađorđe Petrović, the leader of the First Serbian Uprising.^[1] The church was designed in a Baroque style with Classical elements.^[2] It features a monumental single-nave structure flanked by two bell towers.^[2] The iconostasis was painted by Konstantin Danil in the 19th century.^[2]

The western façade features a monumental portal and is dominated by two richly adorned bell towers, topped with a complex tin structure and a cross.
