St. Elijah's Church

St. Elijah's Church stands on a small hill with an Orthodox cemetery, featuring stone walls and traditional architectural elements of Serbian Orthodox churches.

The church was constructed in 1930 and underwent five reconstructions after multiple destructions, including damage during World War II and the 1999 Kosovo conflict.

The church remains under the jurisdiction of the Eparchy of Raška and Prizren, maintaining Serbian Orthodox religious traditions in the Kosovo region.

The building contains new altars, doors, and windows funded by the Council of Europe after extensive reconstruction efforts in recent years.

A bell gifted by Yugoslav King Alexander I in 1932 was recovered by Czech KFOR soldiers after being stolen during periods of unrest.
