The church of St Panteleimon in Kuzguncuk opened for worship in 1831 and was damaged by fire in 1872. Construction of the present building began in 1890, and the church reopened two years later.

It is a cross-plan church with a central dome resting on four piers. The bell tower above the marble courtyard gate was built in 1911. A small holy spring stands on the street beside the church.
