Church of St. Nicholas, Đurakovac, Serbian Orthodox church in Gjurakoc, Kosovo.
The stone church exhibited traditional Serbian religious architecture with a single nave design and limestone walls measuring approximately twenty meters in length.
Built in the 14th century and reconstructed in 1592 under priest Cvetko's leadership, this church served the Orthodox community until its destruction in 1999.
Inside the church, painter Milija created religious frescoes depicting biblical scenes, which underwent a complete restoration process during 1863.
Two icons and the royal doors from the original structure remain preserved at the Patriarchal Monastery of Pec, located thirty kilometers from the site.
Near the church stood an ancient oak tree that local residents considered sacred until both structures met their end in the summer of 1999.
