Paleochristian Church, Paleochristian church ruins in Udënisht, Albania.

The Paleochristian Church is an archaeological site containing remains of a religious structure in Udënisht near Lake Ohrid. The building featured marble columns, a three-nave layout, and a semicircular apse.

Bishops of nearby Lychnidos, today's Ohrid, built their summer residence on the Lin promontory in the first half of the 6th century, and the basilica rose at the same time. A thick wall cut the headland off from the mainland. Fire destroyed church and palace in the 8th century; Skënder Anamali excavated the ruins in 1968.

The mosaics mix pagan and Christian imagery: birds, bees, canthares and peacocks flanking a vessel, and a swastika as the dominant motif of the south chapel floor. The baptistery floor shows four canthares pouring wine. The village name may derive from Lükhnis, the old name of Ohrid, shortened over time.

The site is accessible to visitors and can be reached through the nearby town of Pogradec in Korçë County. It is best to visit during daylight hours to see the mosaics and structures clearly.

The mosaic in the south side chapel is dominated by a swastika motif, with legendary beasts in places and, in the apse, a cantharus with a peacock standing on each side. The baptistery floor shows four canthares pouring wine.
