While it appears large from the outside, this is a relatively small and unadorned church. The wooden pews, the red roof tiles and the whitewashed walls give it a cozy, countryside church atmosphere. The main altar has a magnificent painting of the ascension of Jesus,...More

Rebuilt after the 1991 war, it is peaceful and restful, but it shows at it's corners where it was damaged and how it was repaired
