History
editThe church was constructed between 1747 and 1752.[1] Before the current building was constructed there was a wooden church at the same site at least since the 1733 when it was reported in a historical document.[1] This older church was dedicated to Pentecost.[1] The current church was blessed by Parteniy Pavlovich on 18 June 1752.[1] Over the years church changed its iconostasis on three occasions (early 19th century made by Mihajlo Popović, 1841 by Đorđe Diklić and 1899 by Luka Aleksijević).[1] The building was reconstructed in 1899, 1934, 1984 and 2005.[1] The last reconstruction followed after the damage that occurred during the Croatian War of Independence.[1][2] Prior to reconstruction, the building was included in the list of preventively protected heritage of the Register of Cultural Goods of Croatia where it stayed until 2007.[3]
