Олег Мельник Nice church. There are quite a few similar ones in that region, they were built mainly in the 18th century from local stone.
Rémi Martin Yes, the local limestone gives this typical color. It is a church dedicated to Saint Nicholas, we often see this patronage in the villages of the region.
Сергій Шевченко Yes, the stone there is beautiful, strong. And who knows whether that church has an iconostasis or just an altar?
Elizabeth Johnson The stonework looks solid. Does the inside still have any of the original wooden altar carvings from that period?
Bogdan Radu Yes, that local stone holds up well. I wonder if they also kept the old wooden pews from the 18th century.
Олександр Коваль Yes, its roof is simple, without unnecessary decorations, it holds up well. And the stone on the walls is really evenly laid, it is clear that the masters knew their business.
Sofija Ristić That stone under the trees looks nice. I would like to see him live once.
Виолета Попова Yes, the stone looks solidly built. I wonder if they kept some of the old murals inside.
Mark Phillips The stonework does look well laid. I'd like to see the inside sometime.
Νίκος Μιχαηλίδης The stone building is strong, it seems that they used local limestone from the surrounding quarries. Inside they still have the old wooden sign of 1780 made by local carpenters.
