The church was built in the 15th century and is a simple Gothic church located on the north side of the parish church of St. Michael the Archangel. Interestingly, in the past it was a free-standing church in the Žminj Castle.
It is built of stone blocks of local limestone and its roof is covered with slate. A new door and two rectangular windows on the front were built in 1601, as can be seen from the doorpost record above the entrance. It is painted with frescoes and similar ones can only be seen in neighboring Slovenia, in Kranjska. The frescoes depict scenes from the life of Christ; childhood, flight to Egypt, the fall of the Egyptian idols, the slaughter of innocent children, the return of the Holy Family from Egypt, baptism in Jordan, banishment of the temple merchants, last supper, Christ on the Mount of Olives, Judas' kiss, Christ before Pilate, resurrection, holy woman at the empty tomb, Christ appearing to the eleven disciples, doubting Thomas, ascension into heaven. The models for these paintings come from the Bible pauperum; Bibles of the poor from the Middle Ages, dominated by illustrations, with or without short text. Some paintings are the only exhibits in the entire corpus of preserved Istrian wall paintings, such as the Kiss of Judas, which contains a beautiful depiction of St. Peter, one of the most beautiful figures in Istrian wall painting. The frescoes were restored in the 1970s, and to view them it is necessary to enter the parish church of St. Michael.
