It is built on a remote location, without any evidence of any artefacts in the surrounding area, apparently in a completely isolated place, with no signs of human habitation.

Other unusual features include a double or twin-church design,[1][2] its all-brick construction (with the exception of its foundations), and its sloping walls.

[3] It is located in the southern part of Kırşehir Province, near the village of Taburoğlu, which is approximately six kilometres from the Yerköy-Yozgat highway.

[7][8] The remnants of the decorations of the facades, its sloping walls, and its architectural style led to its chronology being placed to late 10th or 11th centuries AD.

His travel notes on the church were used by John Winter Crowfoot who visited the ruins in 1900, and were eventually published by Josef Strzygowski in 1903.

In 1900, John Winter Crowfoot reports a pinkish external layer covering the brick walls.

The recessed arches and the all-brick wall construction of the Üçayak church provided an impressive architectural element to its design.

Even at that time, it was difficult to discern any details of the theme of the fresco other than what appeared to be a series of heads with haloes.
