Most likely constructed and decorated in the 14th century, the Church of St Peter features simple stone architecture but contains a number of remarkable interior frescoes.

[2] The image bears the following caption in Middle Bulgarian: "Ivan Asen, in Christ our God faithful tsar and autocrat [of all] Bulga[rians and Greeks]".

Beginning in the 1920s and the publications of André Grabar, however, the church and its art have been usually dated to the 14th century based on stylistic and architectural similarities to other works of that period.

However, scholar Bistra Nikolova considers it improbable that an ordinary village cemetery church would have an inscription by a Bulgarian tsar.

[2] The church is a small and simple rectangular single-nave building constructed out of crushed stone;[3] the walls range in thickness from 85 to 90 cm (33 to 35 in).

[5] Among the notable mural portraits is that of church patron Saint Peter, whose larger-than-life image adorns the wall next to the iconostasis.

The middle reaches of the walls feature images from the Holy Week, with frescoes depicting events from other major holidays above them.
