It was surrounded with porticoes from three sides, a vast semicircular in plan apse was adjoined to the church from the eastern side. A bell tower was built up to the church in 1871. In 1936 the church was closed and that transferred for a community centre. After World War II the church was used for a warehouse of inflammable materials and was hard suffered in the 1960s.
