The Church of the Holy Archangels (Serbian Cyrillic: Црква светих Арханђела; Serbian: Crkva svetih Arhanđela; Albanian: Kisha e Kryeengjëjve të Shenjtë) is a former 14th-century Serbian Orthodox church in Gornje Nerodimlje near the city of Uroševac, Kosovo. It is listed as a Cultural Monument of Exceptional Importance of the Republic of Serbia.[1] It was destroyed by Albanians during the Kosovo War.[2]

Description

The church was built in the 14th century and restored in 1700. It had a single nave with a narthex. The western façade had two rectangular windows. The façades and the porches were whitened by lime. Under the 18th-century frescoes, there were several paintings from the 14th and 15th centuries. The building also hosted icons from the 17th and 18th centuries. The Pine of Tsar Dušan, a black pine tree planted by Emperor Dušan, was located near the church.[1]
