It is in Pancarlık Valley, on the right side of the Ürgüp - Mustafapaşa road, south of the town of Ortahisar. It has a flat ceiling, a single nave, and a single apse. The frescoes in the church mostly have green backgrounds and are quite well preserved. Although at first glance it is thought that the church was painted by 2 different artists at different times, when the scenes and all the inscriptions are examined separately, it is understood that it was decorated by the same artist. The church, which contains frescoes with scenes from the Bible, dates to the first half of the 11th century.
