THE CHURCH OF “SABOR NA SVETI ARHANGELI MIHAIL AND GAVRAIL”

The National Revival Church “Sabor Na Sveti Arhangeli Mihail and Gavrail” is the oldest working temple in the municipality of Gotse Delchev.

The church was built in 1811 on the site of an old Christian temple. Over 200 years of history, the temple has witnessed many events and turns. During the Ottoman slavery south of it there was a building in which the Drama bishops stayed in summer when they came to Nevrokop. At the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century the nunnery of the Rila Monastery is established here and it houses the church school. The church has undergone several reconstructions over the years to get its present look. The most significant were made in the 1970s and the first decade of the 21st century. The church is a monument of culture of local importance.
