It is a transverse-vault, single-nave church, of type A1 according to A. Orlandos’ categorization, with a raised central bay, oriented in an east to west direction and measuring 4.75 m x 4.25 m, which acts as a dome over the transverse barrel-vault. Attached to the west there is a large timber-roofed space used as the main church, while the original chapel now comprises the sanctuary. Part of the painted wall decoration of the 17th century in the original church is preserved to this day. The preference for this rare architectural type is attributed to the attempt to apply Byzantine models from neighboring Epirus.
