Jijori hall-type church with a north annexe stands on a slope to the left from the road from Ardagan to Kola.

The central segments of the south and east walls are ruined, the northern extension is mostly destroyed, the arches and the vault have collpased and the masonry is badly damaged.

A semi-circular bema is attached to the hall on the east. The south part of the bema has a deep niche elongated towards the east. Pilasters divide the space into two sections. Each section has a doorway leading into the annexe also divided into two parts. The west part is rectangular and the east is apsed.

The remaining portions allow to assign the church to the 10th century
