It has a form of single-nave church with semicircular dome, built of cut stone and bricks, with small outlets on the southern, northern and eastern walls in the altar apse.

Amongst better preserved compositions distinguish the scenes The Lord Jesus Enters Jerusalem, Nativity of Holy Mother of God and The Dormition of Bogorodica, that tell about the great talent expressed through the courageous expression of the fine arts evidence of the mysterious painter. There are several preserved portraits of donors and rulers that are presented almost in their natural size.
