The church was built in 1838 on one of the hills of Yeniköy (Neochori), opposite the old Greek school. It is reached from the main street by a steep stairway, and there is also a second entrance from another street.

It is a three-aisled basilica on an east–west axis with a pitched roof; the aisles are separated by five columns joined by arches. A bell tower on a square base stands on the west side of the courtyard.
