Saint Nicholas's Church is a cultural heritage monument in Drajčići, Prizren, Kosovo.[1]
The church, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, lies in the Milaçiq neighborhood of Sredska, near the primary school, and was built around 1575-1600. Sredska is located 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) west of Prizren on the road to Prevalla. The rectangular-plan church includes a triangular apse on the eastern wall, and its one story is covered by a semi-arched vault. The western entrance includes the narthex and bell tower. The building includes a mix of tuff and river stones bound with lime mortar, with no plaster on the outside but white plaster on the interior. The two-story roof is covered with lead and sheet metal tiles, and the façade includes semi-circular windows and similarly arched niches. An elaborate iconostasis can be found on the interior wall. The village cemetery is located in the churchyard.[2]
