The destruction of the church in 1999

On 20 June 1999, shortly after the arrival of the French KFOR troops, the church was dynamited, burned and then destroyed to the ground. On the part of the churchyard the Albanians built the school and the mosque. All the centuries-old oak trees that were near the church were cut down and taken away.
