A single-nave church with a gabled roof and an apse. It was built and painted in 1609. At that time, the eastern part of the church was half-sunk into the ground. The church is dedicated to the Ascension of Christ. Particularly valuable are the preserved wall paintings, whose subjects depict scenes from the lives of Mary and Christ. For centuries, the tombstone of the Byzantine princess Mataissa Kantakuzena Palaiologina was embedded in the church floor.
