Vlah Church, Serbian Orthodox church in Donji Kraji, Montenegro

The Vlah Church exhibits traditional Serbian Orthodox architecture with stone walls and stands near the former royal capital of Cetinje.

Built in 1450, the church started as a structure of sticks and mud before receiving stone and lime mortar renovations, reaching its current form in 1864.

The church holds regular Serbian Orthodox services and maintains connections to the Vlach community, who were historically shepherds in the region.

The church grounds contain a cemetery with two preserved medieval tombstones known as stećci, which visitors can examine during their visit.

The perimeter fence of the church incorporates metal from Ottoman rifles captured during the Battle of Grahovac in 1858.
