It is preserved under the canopy of a huge oak-tree and dates back to the period between the 16th and 17th centuries. It represents a single-nave vaulted structure (exterior dimensions: 6.80 x 4.20 metres), with its entrance in the west, and its only window opening in the east, i.e. into the rectangular bema. The sanctuary is built of undressed stone and mortar. Its walls and entrance tympanum are absolutely bare of any inscriptions.
