St Mary's Church, Orthodox church in Leusë, Albania

St Mary's Church in Leusë consists of a narthex, a naos with three naves, an altar area, a later-added open porch (hajati) and a parekklesion. The narthex has two levels linked by two arches on six columns in two rows, with stairs in the southwest corner. The naos is divided by two arcades of four columns and a pilaster each, and a dome on a tall narrow drum with twelve narrow windows rises over the centre.

The original structure dates to the 6th century during Emperor Justinian I's reign, while the current building was reconstructed in the 18th century. This rebuilding shows how the site continued serving as a religious center across different historical periods.

The altar area is separated from the naos by a wooden iconostasis noted in the Albanian monument record for its artistic value. The church is dedicated to Shën Mëria, Saint Mary, and the village name Leusë is used locally for the church. The later-added hajat, open on its north side above stone columns, has built-in benches along its walls where people sit.

The church stands in Leusë, in Përmet municipality, Gjirokastër county. The narthex is entered from the west side, where two windows flank the door; a staircase in the southwest corner leads to its upper floor. The naos lies four steps below the narthex, and the later-added porch opens on the north side over stone columns.

The narthex has two levels joined by two arches on six columns in two rows, with the upper floor reached by stairs in the southwest corner and lit by two north windows. The church was reconstructed in 2000.
