The church was built in 1775 and became known for its iconostasis, painted by the most prominent painter of Serbian Romanticism, Đura Jakšić, who began replacing the icons in 1852–53 but did not complete the work.
In the late 19th century, in 1892, this plan to renew the iconostasis was completed by J. Riger of Timișoara. The church is among the few oldest religious buildings in Banat.
Although these icons are early works showing a resemblance to those of Konstantin Danil, they are significant pieces among Jakšić's few religious works. In addition to the icons, the church holds four old printed books: Antologion, Dugo polje, 1643; Djejanija cerkovnaja, Moscow, 1719; Teatron or Pozor istoriceskij, St. Petersburg, 1720; and Kazanij, Rimnik, 1781. The church is protected at national level.
