Tips from the Community
The temple was built in just one year under the patronage of the farmer Plamen Kolchev. The one-meter-high wrought-iron cross on the temple's dome was personally forged by the founder, master craftsman Nikolai Tomchev, who is known for his work on iron ornaments in two other temples in Lovchan.
