architecture

The building was built on a three-pass plan in the modern Serbian style with influence from the medieval Morava school . The facade of the narthex is surmounted by a bell tower, while the five-sided apse has a semicircular facade. The central part of the nave is surmounted by a dome that rests on massive pillars. On both sides of the altar there are chapels protruding from the side facades; one is used for proscomidia and the other as a diakonicon . The facades are with horizontal successive red and yellow stripes and cornices . The vertical openings are located between arcades and are surmounted by small rose windows . The west facade has no special decoration other than the lunette with a representation of Jesus Christ above the portal.

The iconostasis of the church was painted by Stevan Čalić from Šabac .
