The building is a medieval church that was probably converted into a mosque in the 17th century. Later, a madrasa consisting of two wooden rooms was added to the upper floor of the second section forming the west façade. Today the mosque is open for worship only for Friday prayers. It has no inscription that survives or is recorded. Set on a fairly high hill away from any settlement, the building consists of two sections. The section forming the main structure is the part later converted into a mosque. The building measures 13.10 × 10.40 m.
