Odžaklija, Serbian Orthodox church in Leskovac, Serbia
The Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God features traditional Serbian Orthodox architecture with a notable chimney structure on its exterior design.
Built between 1805 and 1812 during the First Serbian Uprising, the church incorporated a fake chimney to circumvent Ottoman restrictions on new religious buildings.
The church serves as a central location for Serbian Orthodox religious ceremonies and maintains traditional practices of the Eastern Orthodox Christian faith.
Visitors can find the church at coordinates 42.995684, 21.950906 on Moše Pijade Street in the center of Leskovac, Serbia.
The building received its name Odžaklija, meaning chimney house, due to the non-functional chimney added to disguise it as a residential structure.
