The church was designed by the Ministry of Construction of Serbia and was completed in 1874, with its consecration following in 1876.[2] The architectural style of the church is predominantly Neoclassical with elements of Neo-Renaissance.[2] The churchyard was enclosed with an iron fence in 1893, with stone columns made from sandstone from the Negotin area.[3] Cannonballs from the Fetislam Fortress near Kladovo were used as decorative elements on the fence posts.[3] The iconostasis and frescoes, created in 1901, were the work of the academic painter Stevan Todorović, who collaborated with his wife, Poleksija.[2]
The church was designated as a protected cultural monument by the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments on June 2, 1967,[2]
