Geschiedenis
Hoe het ontstond
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 rebuilt in 2006, stone on stone in the traditional style, with donations from the Theth diaspora in the United States. It remains the most photographed building in Theth and the landmark that orients the whole valley.
Wat je ziet
Tijdens een bezoek
The stone façade, the shingle-clad bell tower topped with a cross, and the surrounding meadow that frames the church against the mountains — best in the morning or late-afternoon light. Inside is a simple, quiet interior.
Hoe te bezoeken
The church stands on the valley floor a short walk from most guesthouses in the village centre, reached on flat, easy paths.

Goed om te weten
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.
