An object of sacral architecture of the highest category of protection (7th to 9th century).

The church has a nave, a chancel and a sacristy. The square chancel above which is a dome makes a core of the today’s church, but actually used to be a small pre-Romanesque church expanded later by the nave and sacristy. 

This small church has a square floor plan, and at a height of 3 m it turns into a dome. The transition to the dome was made using shallow squinches.  

The tholoblate gradually narrows upwards and at a height of 4.60 m it becomes a somewhat distorted circle. From the outside, the lower part of the church is a cube, and the dome comprises a slightly beveled tholoblate and a cone-shaped roof. 

The church used to have an apse on its south-east side, but it was torn down when the sacristy was built. 

The baroque baptistery with a Glagolitic inscription was transferred to the parish church of St.  Jerome built in 1670.
