Architecturally an unremarkable hall church, its most recognizable feature is a series of frescoes painted on both internal and external walls, dated to the 14th–15th century.

[2] The Archangel is a small and architecturally simple hall church, based on a two-step socle and built of neatly cut limestone blocks.

The style of the paintings is a local take on the late Byzantine Palaeologan art, executed in a characteristically coarse manner.

Inside the building, the conch and walls bear a series of frescoes depicting a Christological cycle, church fathers, and various saints.

The outer walls also contain frescoes—now partly faded—including the hunting of Saint Eustace on the east façade, haloed horsemen on the south, the Deesis on the west, and uniquely, scenes from the medieval Georgian romance Amiran-Darejaniani on the north.
