"Uspenie Bogorodichno" Church - architectural and construction monument of national significance, Bansko

It was built in 1774 with subsequent alterations. It is a half-dug stone one-aisle structure with a double-sided roof. Known for its unique woodcarving of the iconostasis - so-called "Banski ikonostas" (the "masterpiece of the carving art", "the best of the group of iconostases, worked by the same woodcarving workshop of the Bansko school," one of the significant Early Renaissance wood-carved monuments on our lands ") and of the Archdiocese throne. The original icons are made by Toma Vishanov (Molera), founder of the Bansko Art School. After a fire in 1958, they were replaced with copies. It functions as a cemetery church and is used for funeral rituals and memorials.
