St. Petka Macedonian Orthodox Church, Mill Park

The St. Petka church features blue stone construction with a hipped roof covered in slate tiles and multiple extensions on both sides.

Originally constructed as Janefield Presbyterian Church in 1861, the building was transformed into a Macedonian Orthodox Church during the late 1990s.

The interior space incorporates Byzantine-Orthodox designs with frescoes painted by a Romanian iconographer, representing traditional Eastern Orthodox religious elements.

Religious ceremonies include Divine Liturgies, weddings, baptisms, and various celebrations throughout the year under the guidance of Reverend Father Tone Gulev.

The Victorian Heritage Register lists this bluestone church building, which underwent extensive repairs after its 1996 purchase by the Australian-New Zealand Macedonian Orthodox Diocese.
