SAINT-SAUVEUR CHURCH OF KUČEVIŠTE (СВЕТИ KUČEVIŠTE КУЧЕВИШТЕ КУЧЕВИШТЕ)

Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels

Founded in 1348 by the Serbian knight Radoslav Hlapen, this Orthodox church (Црква Свети Спас/Crkva Sveti Spas) is the parish church of Kučevište. Modified in the 15th and 16th centuries with the addition of a porch and a strange high chapel, it retains important 14th-century frescoes, including a portrait of the families of Radoslav Hlapen and the Serbian king Dušan and a beautiful lamentation scene of the Mother of God. On the outside there are still frescoes painted in 1501.
