History
How it came to be
The church was built at the end of the 19th century, around 1892, and has long been the spiritual and visual heart of the highland village. During the communist era it was pressed into use for a time as the village clinic — many older locals were born within its walls — before being restored in 2006 with donations from the Theth diaspora. It remains the most photographed building in Theth and the landmark that orients the whole valley.

Good to Know
It was built around 1892 and has stood as the symbol of the valley ever since, restored in more recent decades.
The exterior can be seen and photographed at any time, and the simple interior can usually be visited when it is open. It remains a working church, so be respectful.
