Saint Prophet Ilia is a Revival Orthodox Church. It was declared a monument of culture. Probably was built in 18th century. Architecturally, it is a three-nave stone pseudo-basilica without a nartesus built on a slope. In 1927, a bell tower was added to the western façade. The walls are not inscribed. The floor is covered with large stone slabs. There is no pulpit and worship throne. The iconostasis is a plank with an original cross. The royal gates are old and primitive, probably from XVIII century, and there is a "Annunciation" writen on them. Eight of the apostolic icons are from XVII - XVIII centuries. The icons of St. Nikola, the New Testament Trinity, the Ascension of Prophet Ilia, St. George, the Nativity, Christ All Forgiving, and Crucifixion are the work of Dimitar Molerov and are considered to be his top achievements.
