History and architecture

Although built in the 15th century, the church derives its present appearance from a major reconstruction which was carried out in the 18th century. The tower also is not medieval; it dates from 1781 and replaced an earlier church porch. Inside, the church still contains frescos from the 1514, including a large fresco depicting the archangel Michael and the unusual Saint Kakwkylla. The oldest item in the church is the 14th century triumphal cross; most other furnishings date from the 18th century. [1]
