The history of the church

The church was constructed in 1997 on the foundations of an older temple that was built in 1926 by Serbian Colonel Milan Pribićević and his wife Ruža. Newly built church was founded and constructed by Dimitrije and Ljiljana Ljiljak.[1]

The destruction of the church in 1999

On 20 June 1999, shortly after the arrival of the French KFOR troops, the church was dynamited, burned and then destroyed to the ground. On the part of the churchyard Albanians have built the school and the mosque. All the centuries-old oak trees that were near the church were cut down and taken away.[2]
