01. Descriere

The first church dedicated to Saint Parascheva has been erected since 1523, being a wooden construction, next to a monastery school attested in 1857. The building was rebuilt between 1870-1879 and transformed into a basilica with three naves, a nave supported by three old columns and two domes, with an ante-temple and two side spaces, the execution being entrusted to craftsmen belonging to the Triavna School. The church was consecrated by the first Bulgarian exarch, Antim I. The icons were donated by artisans from the region, and the mural icons were painted by the painter Serbezov. There is a Sunday school for children and a center for social activities near the church.
