The locals call this settlement “St. Țarevi”, in worshipping the St. Emperor Constantine and his mother Elena. The present church was built on the site of an older one, dating from the 16th century, which was dug in the ground. The new church was built between 1910-1915, based on a project of the architect Pencho Koichev, famous at the time, also designing the Pleven mausoleum, courts, railway stations and many other buildings. The building is a triple paved basilica, with a transverse axis, with two bell towers above the pronaos, with a dome in the central body and apse. The facade is built in neoclassical style. The icons are made in Byzantine Orthodox style, with western influence. It is a typical urban church, with a spacious courtyard and a lot of tranquillity. The church is located in the centre of the town, close to the regional library “Hristo Botev”.
