The church was reportedly built in 1863 and was converted to a mosque, without much change in the architecture of the building, by settlers from western Thrace in 1928.

The minaret was annexed to the mosque later in 1962 with the donations of the local population. The mosque was heavily damaged by the earthquake in 1996. It was repaired and reopened in 2008 after the restoration work initiated in 2006.

The corners of the bearing walls of the east-west oriented mosque are built of ground stone whereas the tabernacle is built of ordinary stones. On the western facet is a portico which consists of three departments created by four columns.

The gate to the mosque is through the double winged door in the middle of this portico. The interior consists of three vaulted naves aligned east to west. The apse, originally located on the eastern end of the church was demolished and replaced with a straight wall.

The shrine on the southern wall was built later. The most striking feature of the interior is the woodwork on the pulpit and the maksoorah. These samples of woodwork are remnants of the original craftmanship pertaining to the old church.

Figures depicting Jesus Christ and four of his disciples, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John were discovered on the ceiling when the old plaster was removed during the restoration works.

These figures popular with Christian visitors are displayed thanks to an collapsible section on the roof.
