The church was constructed in the mid-19th century, specifically between 1842 and 1844.
Its architectural design follows the pattern of single-nave churches with an apse and a bell tower typical of the region during that era.
The church was built on the site of an older place of worship that existed prior to the 19th-century reconstruction.
It is dedicated to Saint George the Martyr, a significant figure in Orthodox hagiography.
The building underwent a significant restoration project in the early 21st century to preserve its facade and interior murals.
