It lies at 1220 m altitude, at the feet of Tudas Rock (Albanian: Shkëmbi i Tudasit) and 500 m from the eponymous, nearest village, on the northern slope of Mt.

[5][6] The Holy Trinity Church of Lavdar was built in 1470 by Chiranna (Kiranna) Muzaka,[2] daughter of John Zenevisi, a powerful Albanian lord of Epirus.

Gjin II Muzaka also built the Saint Mary church in Bungë (English: Sessile oak forest) near the village Zerec, few km from Lavdar.

At certain days, many Muslim believers from the nearby villages paid visit to the church, donated money and even kissed the orthodox icons.

[1] In a report of 1967, it was described as an abandoned church close to the Muslim village of Tudas, but it was noted for its distinguished architecture and frescoes and thus survived the state of atheism that was installed in Albania.

[12] In 2013, a restoration and structural rehabilitation project of the church was implemented by a joint cooperation of the Orthodox Metropolis of Korça, the Regional Directorate of the Monuments of Culture and the local government.
