History
The founding date of the church is unknown.[3] It was probably renovated in the 17th century.[2]
Architecture
The church was partially dilapidated in the late Soviet period, but the structure was sufficiently preserved. It was a basilica with a nave, two aisles, a five-sided apse on the exterior with two-storied vestries on either side.[2][3]
Destruction
The church was razed to ground at some point between 1997 and June 15, 2006, as documented by investigation of the Caucasus Heritage Watch.[1]
